I have worked with PD in the past and am aware of welfare checks...Lets hope we dont really need one at the end of FD during break down of the site. On the other hand a non emergency come if you can information call could be a reallity with some law enforcement agencys.I would not use dispatch to make the invite for Ft Bend PD. Anyway this did stirr some intrest in FD. Sorry you missed the smile :-} and got ticked BTW- Think we now have a PD served agency officer to attend FD 73 Bill WS5H ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce <mailto:[email protected]> To: Bill Stone <mailto:[email protected]> ; BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 13, 2014 5:30 PM Subject: Re: [BVARC] Field Day bonus point question with a smile calling a police emergency or non-emergency and requesting service is the same as making a report. a false report is never something you would want to do, especially to take a unit out of service on a welfare check for something you know does not exist. i would not want to be on the hook if the unit gets ticked and wants to file on someone. this should not even be a point of discussion. 73...bruce On Friday, June 13, 2014 4:39 PM, Bill Stone via BVARC <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: So as per FD rule 7.3.12 Site visitation by a representative of an agency.....If we call Ft.
