VALLEY COMMUNICATIONS CENTER STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
POLICY NUMBER: 124
1.0
CALLS FOR SERVICE
PURPOSE:
To define Calls for Service (CFS) for purposes of billing/funding calculations and to provide
statistical data to user agencies.
2.0
POLICY:
Valley Com will bill Contract Agencies the established rate for each incident determined to
be a Call for Service as defined herein. Using the same definitions, Valley Com will
calculate each Owner Agency's proportional responsibility when developing the annual
budget.
3.0
PROCEDURE:
Valley Com defines a Call for Service for workload analysis and billing calculation as any
request for service resulting in the dispatch of emergency service personnel, as well as any
unit initiated activity that results in creation of a CAD incident and interaction with Valley
Com personnel, with the exception of the following:
3,1
3.2
3.3
Any mutual aid incident where another Valley Com Agency within the same
classification (police/fire/medic) is dispatched as the primary responding agency.
For example, a police department that responds into another police department's
jurisdiction to provide assistance does not constitute a CFS. However, an incident
involving police, fire and medic units would result in a CFS for all three
classifications. In addition, any mutual aid request dispatched to a location outside
the Valley Com service area constitutes a CFS unless the agency has a contractual
agreement with the communications center making the request.
Any mutual aid request for a medic unit received from another communications
center with an established contractual relationship with King County Medic One. To
alleviate double billing from two communications centers having contractual
relationships with KC Medic One, the agency interviewing the reporting party shall
be considered the originating communications center.
Any incident that is a duplicate of another CFS.

CALLS FOR SERVICE
Any incident that is cancelled by Valley Com personnel due to an error or similar
internal reasons. This does not include incidents that are cancelled when the
requesting party calls back to cancel the response after the incident has been entered
into CAD.
Routine traffic stops that do not result in further police activity categorized as a CFS
are counted as one half of a CFS. For example, a traffic stop that results in an arrest
for a traffic violation or a warrant would then be categorized as officer initiated
police activity and counted as a full CFS, but a routine traffic stop that does not result
in an arrest is considered one half of a CFS.
Any informational broadcast such as an Attempt To Locate (ATL) or Be On The
Look Out (BOLO). Also, any informational incident created solely for the purpose
of assisting the dispatcher in tracking unit activity.
Any E911 Hangup (HANGUP) incident that is associated with another agency, such
as a fire department call for service entered as a police hang up call.
A request for service that is answered by Valley Com and downloaded to a
representative identified by the responsible agency, not requiring dispatch of
emergency services personnel is counted as one half of a CFS. This does not apply to
fire department incidents handled through the Winter Storm Procedures outlined in
SOP #745.
