On the Console line at the bottom, type in “P 2##” (officer who is taking the report).

Does it matter who shows as the primary officer if no IDA is taken?

Answer 5

No

Question 6

What else does the dispatcher need to do when an officer calls in for an IDA?

Answer 6

When an officer calls for an IDA, they should tell you what it is for also. So, dispatch should have “M 2## IDA FOR OTHER INVESTIGATION, THEFT, DC, ect…” Then when someone looks back on the call, they will see who took the IDA and will know who did the report.
