Priority Calls should be dispatched so that the officers arrive on the scene as quickly as possible. If the beat officer is not available or cannot be reassigned, the call should be assigned to the closest available officer. If there are no officers available, the dispatcher will notify the patrol shift supervisor that a Priority Call is holding.
This guideline should be viewed as a desired result. It is recognized that there will be occasions when it may not be possible to follow this guideline exactly.
