911

The Granby Police Department has been awarded $19,140 for the Fiscal Year 2016 911 Training and Equipment Grant. Before an employee of the Department can answer a 911 call they must attend 80 hours of Training in the 911 system. Part of the 80 hours is Emergency Medical Dispatching, which teaches the call taker to ask certain questions depending on the emergency and they can relay this information to responders and also ask the caller to assist the person in distress by offering instructions on how to care for the party until help arrives. The 911 call taker also has the ability to instruct a person on how to perform CPR. Once a call taker is certified to answer 911 they most take 16 hours of Continuing Education Training to maintain their certification. The Grant will be used to pay for these trainings as well as to update the Emergency Medical Dispatch Cards the call takers use.
