Everything previous was wrong
I recommend this way

Alpha 1 - Lieutenants
Alpha 2 - Lieutenants/ Sergeants
Bravo 1- Sergeants/Corporals
Bravo 2 - Corporals
Charlie 1 - Senior Officers
Charlie 2 - Senior Officers/ Officers
Delta 1 - Officers
Delta 2 - Officers
Echo 1 - EMS First Responder
Echo 2 - EMS Full Size Ambulance
Foxtrot 1 - Fire Fire Responder
Foxtrot 2 - Fire Engine
Golf 1 -
Golf 2 -
Hotel 1 - SWAT
Hotel 2

See the descending order?

Higher ranking officers do not need to be in Alpha 1, It's just recommended.

tldr your entire post is misinformed and incorrect.

Hello this "discussion" is incorrect.

Only one problem I see with your way of doing it, Putting some officers etc in higher units is fine, especially when they could be learning from other officers.

There is no order for putting people in units.

@Jordan Where did the video go?
[DOUBLEPOST=1491227461,1491226554][/DOUBLEPOST]It seems as though I am misguided, I shall recollect my thoughts.

Though this is how I always used to run my dispatch, I'm certain this isn't a requirement or even a guideline. Also, as said before, you should try to mix the ranks in a bit, try and have a lot less sweatersquads.

I personally do: Medics are Golf, FF are Hotel, Foxtrot for SWAT (used to put Speed Enforcer into their too). And everything above names tagged to EITHER rank or to patrol areas. Reason to put the LEOs up is to not break my sight be medics.

I think something that could be improved in dispatch is consistency. Each dispatcher has their own way of doing things and it is counter productive with multiple dispatchers. Perhaps not by much, but I think that there needs to be a standard.

You do realise the fact of such things as partners?

Dispatchers make choices they believe are effective sometimes we assign differently for a very good reason. Now as both a Dispatcher, PTA and Sergeant I recognise the importance of partners and I strongly disagree with this.

Its up to the dispatcher, at the end of the day its to make the dispatchers job easier, its not a procedure to have unit structure set up like this, but actually whatever way fits you the best and can increase your efficiency while on duty.
