See above. Also, vollie units try to buff (steal) jobs from paid units. In general, regarding paid units only, they're all equiped with AVL's. So, the closest unit is recommended. If you're returning to your cross street location to post, you can be tagged for a job. When a good one comes over the air, other units will try to buff. They must give an eta better than the dispatched unit, and it must be accurate. Typical air traffic - "I don't know where 46 Charlie is coming from, but we have a 2-3 min eta." 46 Charlie: "we have 4-5, 46 Eddie can have it." Vollie units can't do this, however. Units will also swing by the call location, not L&S, and get themselves "flagged" for the job, and then get added on. This is typical for shots, stabs, bad MVA's, violent EDP's, etc.
