Our calls all come in through Verizon. They all are pretty much the same.
The EIN number is up top with the ESN number
the callers number is on the main screen with the address.
Below that are the reccomendations as to what area it is, for the city's
of just county for fire, rescue, and so/police.
With cell phones there is a number at the top, just below the ESN, that
is called CPN (cell phone number). most show up there. Some, like at&t
show up on the main screen.
Anyway just above the recommedations is the are for LAT, LONG, and two
other bits that I don't remember off hand. I am off the next two days
but will get a snap of the screen and send it to you. I might be able
to find out which format they are actually using.
And of course it would have to be able to go into our existing database
of calls. All lines are taped, so any verbal conversation is already on
file. I have no idea what verizon does with there screen captures but
our CAD is separate and we dump the calls into our system, where it is
automatically entered into our database but the issued control number.
I will see what I can find out and send it off to you. Moe
