3.2.2 Updating an Incident

To update details of an incident:

• From the Dashboard side menu, select View All Incidents.
• Select the action you want to take from the appropriate incident.
  

Closing incidents
Once resolved, incidents should be closed to ensure the correct timeline and tracking is applied.
The following steps should be done to close an incident

1. Ensure that all responding services have been Cleared from the Units area.

2. Enter any remaining information associated with the incident (e.g., the MIR number [SLSA Member Injury Report] for member injuries).
3. Click Close Incident.
Note: When you close an incident that is an IRD type incident (e.g. Suspected Spinal Injury (IRD)), the IRD Number will be displayed on the Incident Details screen. Provide this IRD Number to the patrol/service involved so they do not create a duplicate Report in the IRD.

The Incident Log Messages and the Incident Description are added to the IRD.

If you are sure there is nothing else to add, click Yes (1) or,
If you have forgotten to add some information, click No (2) then repeat these steps when possible.
