Bill to list Dispatchers as first responders

[Unregistered]

How about they stop making our calls more complicated by not adding all those unnecessary call comments that are based on lying callers. Comments we have to un fuk and get us in trouble just because turned out different than the call comments dictated. Nees flash, people lie when they call. We have ways of getting the truth on scene and in person. Officer safety comments is all we need. Not investigative. Stop doing our investigations for us on the phone. It really screws us up.

I’m glad they write comments so I know what I’m walking into. Maybe you should appreciate them a little more than you do. They’re not making up the calls and then dispatching them to us. This is what is TOLD to them, and I’m pretty sure they’re required to give us that information. Do you think they want to waste their time listening to sig 20s anymore than we do? Get over yourself!

The radio needs to go back to ONLY announcing the unit dispatched, address, and the type of call. Period. Not all 15 paragraphs in the initial call need to be voiced when dispatching. "4Qubec87 being dispatched to a sig 51 at 123 fourth street." DONE!

Only if someone is Sig671, or Sig000, should that information be voiced. But take no more than 3 seconds to do it.

Same with the comments added digitally to the callscreen. Only the minimum necessary needs to be added, so we're not reading 15 pages of what Bobbie ate for dinner last 4th of July, why Suzy hates Jenny's new dress, or the description of the "sig 13P" who was lurking in the area 3 weeks ago.


With all that being said, that's a command decision, not the decision of the dispatchers. Dispatchers add EVERYTHING, and read out 5 minutes of nonessential information, only because they are told to by our command staff. That Schizznitt needs to stop! So we can get on the radio when we need to, and not be pulling over to read comments (per SOP) every 15 seconds, up until the time we arrive.

So what's your plan when MDT is offline and you have to readily be able to operate on radio only? It happens bro.......

Whooooaaaa. Wtf is up with the hostility? Do your supervisors make you do stupid crap? I bet theirs do too. Do your supervisors make your job harder than it needs to be? I bet theirs do too. I sincerely doubt they’re trying to do more work than what is necessary.

Pornstar gets hired as a Police Dispatcher
The truth must be told and known by the community.
As a public servant a dispatcher is held to a higher standard of professionalism, therefore a pornstar should have never been hired.
She is a good example of the bad hiring practices

You’re a misogynistic d-I-c-k! A porn star can’t suddenly decide she wants more for her life? There are a whole lot of men running around this office who have difficulty keeping their pee-pees out of things they don’t belong in. Are those people not also held to a higher standard? I would wager that the majority of people in this office getting in trouble for sex related issues are men. Sex on duty = male deputies! Sex with hookers = male deputies! Sex with teenage girls = male deputies! Blow jobs from crack heads = male deputies! Sexual harassment = male deputies. See a pattern forming here????

Only when you are a rookie, you need the BS comments that are exaggerated and mostly made up to guide you. When you grow up, you will see that those comments are never what they seem. It takes experience to not base your investigation off your MDT.

Amen! Thank you! You said it way better than I could. Officer safety info only. Same for the MDT comments and not all the stupid “he said she said” crap. None investigative comments.

Moron callers love using trigger words to manipulate our cases. Some of our dispatchers lock us, correction, lock rookies into an outcome based on call comments. Even when on scene and in person, we determined the real truth and real outcome.
