## Description

This plugin is intended for first responders who want to list the calls their department
receives on their department’s website. It adds a “911 calls” post type to list 
calls your department is dispatched for. These calls can be written manually, or
they can be imported from an email inbox, if your department receives messages via
email. This plugin is in early stages of development (it works for our department,
but hasn’t been expanded to be sure it works for any others), but it should serve
as a good base to expand from for a programmer who wants to create similar functionality
for your department. I plan to expand it and add new features in the future, and
if you’d like to help, it would be more than appreciated!

## Installation

 1. Upload the ‘first-response’ folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Set up an email account to receive dispatch messages. The account must be dedicated
    to this plugin
 4. Enter your login details for the email account on the plugin settings page

## FAQ

#### Can calls be imported to wordpress automatically?

Yes. If your department can receive email notifications when you are dispatched,
this plugin can read those messages and post a new “911 call” to your website. You
need to set up a dedicated email address for this to work. This plugin will read
that email account, and import any unread messages as new calls. Right now, the 
code MAY need to be adjusted slightly for your department, but the code should be
easy to read and extend.

#### Can it do the import process the moment we are dispatched?

No. This is a feature I plan to add in the future, but I have not had the time to
yet. If you expand the plugin to include a cron job or daemon which does this, please
let me know!

#### How do I start the import process?

In the admin page, click on “911 calls” on the menu on the left, and then click 
on “Load calls” in its submenu. It will import all new calls, tag and categorize
them, publish them, and then report back on what it has done.

#### Do I NEED to use the import process to use this plugin?

No. You could create new calls manually without ever using the import process. Importing
does make things a whole lot easier, though.

#### How do you receive emails when you are dispatched?

Our county uses a system called “iamresponding” to notify us via text message and
email when we are dispatched. Other similar systems exist which you could sign up
for. I am not aware of any that are free.
