Non-emergency Call Center

Calls

Logging and addressing each call is critical to resolving all non-emergency issues reported. Use this table to rapidly identify whether the caller’s phone number already exists in the system. If they do, the caller’s name will automatically be displayed. If not, effortlessly add a new phone number and name in the database. As you’re recording the caller’s concerns, quickly pull up a list of the most common complaints to select the reason for the call. Each common complaint has a designated department responsible, directing you to the department website used to submit a ticket on the caller’s behalf. If the complaint is not a common one, add all details to the notes and determine the most appropriate department to submit a ticket. Regardless of whether the caller has been in the system for years calling about the most common complaint or whether the caller is a first time caller with a complicated request, this table guides you through the center logging process!
