Dispatch committee approves updated first‑responder policy, renaming it 'County First Responder'
Summary
The Alpena County Central Dispatch Committee approved updates to Policy I‑07, renaming 'Medical First Responder' to 'County First Responder' and reordering the response priority list. The approval followed a presentation from the 911 data officer and a motion by Rory Sherwood.
The Alpena County Central Dispatch Committee approved updates to Policy I‑07 (Medical First Responder - Ride Back to Scene) at its Feb. 20 meeting, renaming the role to “County First Responder” and changing the order of items in the response list.
Alysse Susan, the committee's 911 Data Officer, presented the proposed changes and noted a reordering of the policy document so that the item previously listed as No. 1 becomes No. 4, with subsequent items shifted accordingly. The committee voted to adopt the updates after a motion by Rory Sherwood supported by Edna Sorensen; the minutes state the motion carried.
The action was recorded as Action Item #1. The minutes do not specify additional operational details such as training, a timeline for implementation, or whether the change affects existing mutual aid or response agreements. Those details were not specified in the meeting record.
The committee did not identify any formal objections in the minutes and did not record a roll-call vote for the motion beyond noting it carried. The committee will consider further implementation logistics, if any, in future meetings.
