Not sure if my question is an officer safety issue or not, if it is I will understand.
Today I was in Fresno listening and she dispatched a unit to an area where someone had telephone in that a CHP officer was struggling with a person from a brown vehicle on the RH shoulder.
As soon as the dispatched unit let off the mic a unit came on and said that would be him she was discribing and he was code 4 and 98 the stop. Dispatch seemed surpirsed that he was on the stop and asked again if code 4 and was the stop with a brown vehicle. The unit affirmed.
My question is, is this common for a unit to make a stop without first notifying dispatch. She certainly seemed surprised and unknowing about the stop especially since he was 10-98 from the stop.
Hope this makes sense. Thanks for input.
