Department Organization

Not trying to bash any department, but how many redispatches, and No-shows does it take for a department to realize that their current procedures have failed. Does anyone else see this as a MAJOR concern not just for that departments taxpayers, but for mutual aid departments as well?

This discussion has taken place at least a few times before, and I understand your concern over the situation, however, it's a moot point to have this discussion again. Some departments have stubborn leaders who refuse to change, some departments have no leadership, and there's a few that have gotten lost along the way. It happens to many more departments than you think, just as every department has their problems. If you happen to be a taxpayer in the district you are referring to then you need to start a campaign to change it. If you belong to a mutual aid company that is responding to this district, voice your concerns up your chain of command.
