Effective immediately, the Lake Havasu City Police Department Dispatchers are utilizing a specific questionnaire to screen all callers who desire or require an in-person response by a Police Officer or Firefighter. Callers are advised that for the protection of first responders, a few questions are asked prior to their arrival.
All callers are asked if anyone in the home has any of the following symptoms:
If there are any “Yes” answers to questions above, the dispatcher gives the instruction “from now on, don’t allow anyone to come in close contact with him/her unless wearing appropriate personal protective equipment”.
Additionally, to minimize potential exposure to our first responders, callers experiencing non-emergent situations are asked if they are willing to speak with someone over the phone. Any caller requesting contact by phone does not require screening.
All police department ride-along requests and tours of the police department are suspended until further notice. The LHCPD appreciates the community’s patience during this time.
