Improvement Package Summary
1 of 4
This improvement request is for hiring a company to preform Quality Assurance on calls for the
Communication Center. This would provide Quality Assurance on all calls received by the
Communications Center. The company will log in and review cases from Emergency Police Dispatch,
Emergency Fire Dispatch and Emergency Medical Dispatch. The company will then provide scorecards
for each case and each dispatcher would be able to review their compliance scores. This will provide
the dispatchers with analysis on things they do well and things they need improvement on. The
company will do this on a weekly basis and will provide necessary feedback on areas where help is
needed. This will be done so that all dispatchers are using and following the protocols. These protocols
follow national criteria for questioning and providing pre -arrival and post -dispatch instructions to the
caller. These are designed to assist in providing officer/firefighter safety as well as providing safety to
the citizens of and visitors to Dubuque.
By using the National Q Company, this will relieve some of the workload off of an already stressed
Communications Center leadership staff. In order for this to be done internally, it would require a full-
time staff person to conduct quality assurance reviews on a weekly basis. If this were to be done with
current staffing levels, it would require each of the four Lead Dispatchers to be taken off a radio for one
shift per week to listen to a percentage of the calls and fill out a Quality Assurance scoring and
feedback form. Additionally, peer -to -peer evaluation would cause differences in each scorer and the
scores would not be consistent. The Dubuque Fire Chief and Police Chief are also in support of this
improvement package. The Fire Chief expects these protocols, as well as the Quality Assurance that
this company will provide, will assist in the Fire Department's process of becoming accredited. In
providing Quality Assurance, the Communications Center staff will be better equipped to handle all
types of calls. They will provide better services to the citizens of and visitors to Dubuque and Dubuque
County.

This improvement request is for providing funding for a consulting stipend for a physician/Medical
Director for the Communication Center. Dr. Jill Hunt from Unity Point Health previously served as the
Volunteer Medical Director until her retirement in 2018. This stipend would help offset the cost for
education or increased involvement in the Communications Centers medical training. Additionally, this
stipend would make it easier to recruit licensed physicians for this position. This request supports City
Council Goal of Financially Responsible, High Performance City Organization: Sustainable, Equitable

This improvement request is for installing high -density fiberglass sound panels on the walls of the
Communication Center. Due to past construction and changes in number of monitors hanging on the
walls, the old sound barriers do not fit the current lay out and additional staffing has resulted in
increased volume during busy times. This improvement package would install new sound barriers to
help absorb background noise in the Communication Center to ensure background sound is not
transmitted on the radio and respondents can clearly hear dispatcher information. This improvement
request supports the City Council goal of Vibrant Community: Healthy and Safe.

This improvement level request is for stipends for non -bargaining unit Lead Dispatchers who train new
staff. Lead Dispatchers who help train new staff currently do not receive any incentive to help train.
This improvement level request would provide each Lead trainer one hour of compensatory time or one
hour of pay at regular rate for every 10 hours that they train new dispatchers. Each new dispatcher
undergoes approximately 750 hours of training. Leads, as well as other senior dispatchers, do the
training.There is often an overlap of several new employees in training at a time. This request supports

Rave Facility, a free service provided in your community,
improves employee safety and protects businesses.
Simply upload floorplans, emergency contacts, and other
critical data. In an emergency, 9-1-1 and first responders
can access that data to improve emergency response.
Medical Emergency
Employees receive medical care sooner when 9-1-1 can
advise AED locations and first responders can enter the
facility as quickly as possible.
Fire
First responders will respond faster with access to floor
plans, access codes,and utility shut-off information.
Active Shooter
First responders can better coordinate their response
with office layouts, on -site contacts, and access points.
