Hello CALIFORNIA Dispatchers!
Welcome to the newly formed California Emergency Dispatcher Association. We are truly glad you have found us, and please, pass along information about the new association to everyone in your communications center! The more members we have in the association, the better it will be for everyone!
For the last six years, the California Tactical Dispatcher Association has been used by law enforcement agencies from all over the United States and Canada for many different reasons.
CTDA has provided support for agencies looking to create new Tactical Dispatch Teams, from offering ideas about how to start a team and member selection to samples of Policies and Procedures and After Action Reports. The Outreach Team traveled to Irving, Texas to teach the basic course to 21 new Tactical Dispatchers. CTDA has held relative regional training meetings up and down the state, from Santa Rosa to Chula Vista. The most important thing CTDA has done is provided training at our annual Training Conferences over 500 dispatchers from across the United States, as far away as Alaska and Vermont. We have met dispatchers from across the state and across the nation, and lifelong friendships have been made, and rekindled, at our conferences.
