911 Dispatcher Practice Test

What should a dispatcher report when there's "Any traffic for unit or station"?

1. Immediate assistance required

2. Calls worth noting

3. Updates on call status

4. Ongoing communication channels

The correct answer is: Calls worth noting

When a dispatcher reports "Any traffic for unit or station," it indicates the need to provide calls or information that are worth noting. This involves communicating relevant updates or information that the unit or station may need to be aware of during their operational duties. This type of traffic is essential for maintaining situational awareness and ensuring that responding units have all pertinent information related to their tasks and calls they are handling. It allows for effective coordination and the relay of critical information that could impact their responses or decision-making. The other options focus on aspects that do not directly align with the phrase in question. For instance, immediate assistance required implies an urgent situation needing immediate attention, which is not simply about noting traffic. Updates on call status generally refer to specific developments in active incidents rather than general traffic information. Ongoing communication channels refer to the methods or systems in place for communication but do not specifically address what kind of information should be relayed when there is a call for traffic.
