What is an “Agency Assist”?
When we have an “Agency Assist” call for service it can be for many different things.
First and Foremost, we are letting our dispatch know our location and what we are working on. This is for safety reasons as well letting our dispatch know which resources are available and where they are.
An “Agency Assist” case may be for any of these things:
Court paper work service (e.g. subpoenas, citations, restraining orders)
Support for Richmond Fire Department
Support for Richmond Rescue
Traffic control for Town Highway or paving projects
Support for DCF
Support for Community Outreach
There are times that we will back up other agencies outside of the town limits, just as other agencies do to support us. These are only done when the department needs extra support due to the situation and/or available resources and the proximity of those resources.
