Upcoming Observation Shifts @ ECD

When EMS, police, fire and other resources are needed, it begins with our partners at the Emergency
Communications Department in downtown Rochester. As a critical element, it’s important that all
CHS members are familiar with and appreciate the role ECD plays in our success.
Given this, we are requiring all CHS members to spend a shift with our partners at ECD. This will allow
you to see first-hand how the process works – from initial receipt of the phone call all the way
through the dispatch of an EMS resource. For those that haven’t been, the opportunity to observe at
ECD is an exciting and unique opportunity. We encourage you to enjoy your time, ask questions, and
work to build the relationship between ECD and CHS.
Gabrielle and Captain Murtaugh will be working to schedule each of you into a 5-hour shift at ECD
over the next year. You will receive more details via e-mail once your shift is scheduled.
