Call assignments

[Guest fdnyladder10]

Am listening to NYPD SOD, and noticed that Adam 1 is covering the whole of the Manhattan sector for ESS 1, i noticed that they got an assignment for an EDP in and then only a few minutes later were given an assignment for a 54 rescue, which is a possible auto/ems related rescue, my question is, which run would they have gone on, do the the incidents just get put out over the radio by central, and the REP's respond at their descretion, or do they respond to the most serious incident, and then the next one after that, depending on the nature of the incidents at the time.??

thanks

REP's will be assigned multiple jobs within their sector as the jobs come up. Typically they'll switch over to the division's frequency and ascertain from Division whether or not they are needed to respond. Certain jobs, like EDP's, are automatic dispatch for ESU. If a precinct sector determines that there is no need for ESU, the sector will cancel them. Then they will move onto the next job. 54 Rescues are also automatic dispatch for ESU. ESU will switch over to that divisions frequency and determine if they are still needed to respond. Alot of the jobs in NYC are unconfirmed... if ESU gets a specific request from a precinct sector, or the job comes over as confirmed, they'll typically handle the more serious or confirmed jobs before going to something like an evidence search or a non-priority.

54 Rescues are people stuck in elevators, an aided down in an apartment who can't get to the door... and you'll also hear 54 Water Rescue, which is pretty self explanatory.

Many thanks, that has cleared a great deal of confusion up for me, i am a newby to the NYPD ESU, ive converted from FD!!! Onemore question ifits ok, almost 95% of the assignments, lets say for ESS 1, are for Adam 1, and they are for the whole of ESS 1 area, with Charlie 1 cropping up on the radio every now and again doing other thhings, is this the norm, that the adam unit will get all the runs first, an when the get over loaded they moveonto the boy or charlie REP, or is it the norm to just have two REP's out at any one time.

thanks for your time.

Sometimes the Boy car (or Adam car for that matter) may be assigned to another detail (warrant service, etc.) that you won't hear over the radio.

Each REP is basically responsible for a part of the borough (patrol borough that is, Squad 1 is assigned to Patrol Borough Manhattan South). Typically there will be an adam and boy car.... although 1-Truck will turn out a Charlie car quite often.

Common sense would say that they would not be charging around the borough all day on blues an two's (im in the Uk, meaning emergency response with lights an sirens), as if they did this, the reps would be racing around all day without a breath, i assume they trundle around under normal road conditions, and use the lights an sirens as an when they get a 'confirmed', or a rescue or a 10-13. I might be wrong, but this seems the sensible thing to do.

Correct.... they don't go racing to every single job that comes over the radio. A majority of the jobs are unconfirmed. Typically unless the job comes over as confirmed, or division confirms the job and requests ESU, then they will step it up. The wonderful residents of NYC have a habit of making 911 calls sound 10 times worse then they are becaue it will illicit a faster response... not uncommon to get dispatched for a 53 pin only to pull up and see it's a minor fender bender. People know they may have to wait an hour for a sector car in a busy precinct to respond to a low priority job. The gun run is another favorite... callers tell 911 "I think he/she has a gun" because they know it's going to illicit a faster response from precinct units. So ESU will start heading that way and confer with the division concerned as to whether or not the job is confirmed and if their services are still needed.

We have the same issues with the wonderful populace of london!!! So the REp would spend most of its day just cruising, under normal road conditions from routine assignment to routine assignment, and hit the lights an noise button when its confirmed or its a confirmed pin.

Do all Squads have the ESV, the rig with the boat on the roof, and what special units do Ess2 have at their house other than the truck an REp's

And lastly, sorry about all the questions, just trying to understand what im hearing on the radio, what assignments would constitute the response of the squads truck?? does it stay at the house until its called or do a roving patrol as an when they feel like a ride out between runs??

Thanks again

ESS 2 has the RMI (the robot)... that's their "specialty". Typically heavier jobs or jobs requiring additional manpower will consitute the response of the truck. Barricaded perps, confirmed pin jobs, confirmed water rescues, or when it is needed to light up a scene with it's light tower, etc. Obviously due to it's size the truck has, in addition to two extra E-men, a wider array of equipment on it than the REP's do. Typically "the Truck" remains in quarters until it is requested or dispatched to a job. If the crew wants to go out of quarters for food or whatever, yeah they can go drive around.

If you're really interested in ESU, there was a very good book written a few years back by Samuel Katz. Look up his name on Amazon.

Yeh got both of Katz's books on the way from amazon, is the RMI kept in the truck, or does it have its own dedicated vehicle??
