  9. Why do dispatchers ask so many questions?
    • They need answers to the 6 W's such as:
      1. Where?
      2. What?
      3. Who?
      4. When?
      5. Welfare of persons involved?
      6. Weapons involved?

      If the dispatcher continues to ask you questions it is because they either do not have enough information in order to dispatch or they have already dispatched but need additional information to get to the officers that are already on the way. Please answer questions to the best of your ability and stay on the line until the dispatcher has all of the information. Know that the purpose of their questions is to protect everyone involved and provide you with the best service possible.
