From what I have heard on the scanner, they seem to pass on whatever useful information they have from the Reporting Party.

well thats good jf. but we have called in quite a few, sometimes with longitude and latitude and other very good definitive detail and it is glossed over by dispatch. like i said that must be what makes them so good.
