Suffolk County AMPDS Dispatch Protocols
The following are the AMPDS dispatch protocols, which are used when dispatching
ambulences on the county frequency 155.280. When MEDCOM dispatches an ambulance
they use this system to let the crew know the nature of the emergency. For example,
a patient with breathing problems and cardiac history would be dispatched as a
"6 charlie 3 response" or a car accident with ejection would be a "29 delta
5 response". The response levels are Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta and
Echo with Alpha being the lowest priority and Echo being the highest.
An Omega response is a referral.
