As a MPD officer in the field, I rely on the dispatcher to provide information on where we need to be and the background on the situation we will encounter. We also provide information back to the dispatcher about what is happening on scene, building a close partnership with the dispatcher to manage an effective response.<\/p>\n<p>The radio I carry is my lifeline. \u00a0It not only allows me to coordinate response, it also allows me to get additional help if I am in a tough situation. \u00a0We get calls that originate in the 9-1-1 center, but we also come across situations in the field that need additional support and I know I can rely on my radio to get the help and response I need from my own agency and other agencies, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Multi Agency Collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My job is to help protect the citizens and visitors to Washington D.C. so they can have a safe and enjoyable time while in the District. Having an effective interoperable communication system makes my job easier because I can seamlessly coordinate responses with other agencies.
