When first on the scene, what information should you provide to other units en route?

Providing your location and the situation is crucial for coordinating a response effectively. This information allows other units en route to understand where they need to go and what type of scenario they are approaching. Knowing the specific location helps in planning the best approach and any necessary precautions, while details about the situation—such as whether there are suspects, weapons involved, or if individuals need assistance—can significantly influence how additional units prepare and respond.

Knowing your current speed is not essential for other units responding; they need situational awareness rather than travel speed. Sharing previous calls might create confusion as it doesn't pertain to the current incident and could divert attention from the pressing situation at hand. Reporting only your badge number lacks context and does not provide useful information for their response, as it does not inform them about the required actions or risks present at the scene.
