I had an idea where the dispatch who would be at a computer would have a list of cops on his monitor with given police unit numbers, he would then be able to send a message to each individual such as setting patrole routes ect, this is explained more indepth below:
*Dispatch types message to Unit P125*:"Unit P125 patrol industrial region and await further orders".
*Officer responds via radio*"10-4 dispatch P125 patroling industrial region.
Also a nice feature would be for the dispatch to have each message sent to be saved as a current status for each officer so that the dispatch can quickly find out what the officer's last order was.
