http://www.privateofficer.com/ – The city Of Cleveland police can now respond quicker to emergencies at school buildings after school security dispatchers were given capability to speak directly to police dispatchers at the city’s communications center.
Prior to Monday, security dispatchers had to use a phone to let police know about emergencies in schools. Now, security dispatchers can monitor police radio traffic as well as speak directly to the police dispatchers. The city recently installed communication equipment that links both departments.
Cleveland officials say that officers do respond to a lot of different types of emergencies throughout the school system and having two way radio capibility will assit in faster response and better communication between school dispatchers and police dispatchers. Officers in zone cars can listen and respond immediately to a school. The arrangement eliminates the delay from a call taker gathering information and entering it into the computer before a dispatcher can broadcast it, said Lt. Thomas Stacho.
Safety Director Martin Flask ordered the city to coordinate dispatch efforts between the police and the schools after the shooting last October at Success Tech Academy.

BREAKING NEWS
Fresno CA. April 17 2008
A Fresno student was killed during an officer-involved shooting on the Roosevelt High School campus Wednesday.
According to police, an officer assigned to the school, walked out of his office just before noon and was immediately struck in the head with a baseball bat. The officer fell to the ground compromising his primary firearm, but was able to retrieve his secondary weapon, which he fired at the suspect.
The suspect, who has been described as a 17-year-old sophomore, fell to the ground and was pronounced dead on the scene despite CPR efforts.
Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer described the situation as “tragic” and reassured parents that no students were ever in danger. The school was on lock down throughout the day after the incident occurred. Acting Superintendent, Ruthie Quinto, attributed the lockdown to the districts policy to ensure the “complete and utter safety of all the students on campus.”
At least five students are said to have witnessed the shooting, along with two probation officers.
The officer involved in the shooting has been identified as 38 year-old Junus Perry of Fresno, who is said to have worked on the campus for three years, and with the department for 10 1/2 years. He was taken to Community Regional Medical Center where he was later released.
Roosevelt High School is located at 4250 E Tulare St in Fresno, the crime is said to have occurred on the southeast side of the campus.
