Dispatch Services
The dispatchers at Calistoga Police Department provide a number of services to the public, the city and the department. They answer all in-coming phone calls, greeting the public and directing their call to the appropriate person or agency. They enter records of all calls for service into a computer aided dispatch system, which tracks each call to conclusion. They are responsible for the records section of the department, handling all correspondence and filing. Dispatch also manages the parking citation program, being the liaison between the city and a private firm that processes parking citations.
