Training

Members/Recruits

Hello, you have landed here because you have signed up for a dispatch training or plan on doing so. To get you set up and ready to roll we just need to do a few more things.

First of all, you will have to read the SOP. Make sure you are familiar with our procedures. The SOP is your handbook on “how to dispatch” in Chaos Gaming Network. It’s best to note down any questions you have, you will have time to ask them during your training.

When you have read the SOP, you can watch the CAD Training video. It explains how our CAD system works. If you want you can also take a look at the dispatcher cheat sheet. Now it’s time to get your files setup and ready to use. For dispatch, that’s not too much work. Just download our version of the address map to your computer and make sure you can read the street names and address codes that are on it. If it doesn’t work using the windows photo viewer, you can try using Photoshop, GIMP or other editing software. If you don’t have any software like this installed you can use a free software called PAINT.net. That’s about it. Enjoy your training and we hope you have lots of fun dispatching at Chaos Gaming Network.

PS: A training usually lasts between 60-90 minutes depending on how many people sign up.

PPS: You can already take a peek and listen to the “Law Enforcement Radio Frequency” on TeamSpeak. Just put ***listening*** behind your name and mute your microphone.

Training

At the start of the training give trainees the option to ask questions if they have any. Make sure they have familiarized themselves with the CAD and SOP and have all their other materials ready.

It’s now time for the CAD portion. Set the trainee to “Trained” in the training roster and instruct them to go on duty in the training CAD. The trainees take turns now. Each of them gets to be the dispatcher, you represent all the units listed in the training CAD. Your job is to come up with 911 calls or reports of units now that the trainees have to handle. Try to do one of each minimum. After each dispatcher give feedback and suggestions. Every trainee gets 2 turns minimum, more if needed.

Let the trainees take the quiz and you pick a number (1-3) for them to do a random section of the quiz.

Quickly evaluate the responses of each individual trainee in the “replies” section or using the archive chart. A 100% correct response is not needed, use your judgement to determine whether or not a trainee passed.
