In an emergency such as a fire or a crime, minutes count. While your instinct might be to immediately try and help, calling 911 first usually proves to be the most effective action.
Oak Parkers who call 911 get more than just a dispatcher. The telecommunicators who answer the phones in the dispatch center have been trained to help callers deal with a variety of police, fire and medical emergencies.
The West Suburban Consolidated Dispatch Center (WSCDC) dispatches police, fire and emergency medical services for Forest Park, Oak Park and River Forest.
Dispatchers are certified in CPR and have completed the Emergency Medical Dispatch protocols from the Priority Dispatch System, a program that teaches how to guide callers through basic medical procedures until paramedics arrive to take over.
When you dial 911, don’t be surprised that the dispatcher will do most of the talking. The questions they ask are critical to a proper emergency response. But don’t worry — even while questions are being asked, emergency personnel are already on their way.
Here’s some of the needed information:
For more information or to discuss how a call was handled, contact the executive director or supervisor of the WSCDC at 708.771.9110. More information on the center is posted at www.wscdc.org.
