Gatesville PD new system to improve medical and responsive training for EMS, dispatchers

The few minutes between life threatening emergency phone calls and the arrival of responders can be critical.
This is why Gatesville Police Department emergency dispatchers will be implementing a new system to better serve Gatesville and Coryell County residents.
The Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS) has dispatchers follow nationally recognized standards and protocols that identify life-threatening situations and prioritize calls for response. The protocols will guide dispatchers through questions they will ask callers to identify problems quickly, and communicate to responders with accurate information to dispatch the correct help needed.
A new jail facility is still on the mind of Coryell County Judge Roger Miller. He said that although he thinks the failed bond issue in the May election was a âgood thing,â he knows the county needs a new jail.
âI donât think it should be a surprise to anyone that we are on the cusp of â and in the future, we will need â more bed space and larger jail capacity,â Miller said Wednesday during a quarterly summit meeting in Copperas Cove.
Had the bond passed in May, it would have come with a price tag of $30 million, and it would have cost taxpayers an increase of around 7 cents on property taxes.
