Campus Police Dispatch

Just wanted to know what type of set ups other Campus PD's have for their dispatch.

1) Do you have FT (dedicated) Dispatchers?

2) Do you use Student dispatchers? If yes, are the LEAPS/NCIC Certified? What do you do to ensure proper use of information obtained from LEAPS/NCIC??

3) What type of training do you require for dispatchers?

We have full time dedicated dispatchers for most shifts. Weekend day shifts can be covered by an officer that was hired from the desk or has significant desk training. All dispatchers go through a six week CTO pogram, APCO Basic Telecommunicator 40 hours class, Powerphone LED and EMD classes. All are trained in CPR and Basic First Aid as well.
