Don't worry, "they" know whats best.
They will also be there to help you if need be, just give them a call at 911. Don't think...don't think....don't think... |

None of this would have happened if Godfrey hadn't cheated on his wife.

"Mew again apologized Thursday for that night. He urged people to remember that most 911 calls go smoothly.
"It was a horrible night," Mew said. " Right, no thanks.. I'll keep it cocked and locked.. Heck I got three relitives that are LEOs and they say don't rely on the system because they can't be everywhere. |

From what I get out of that, they didn't disregard the directions, it's that the directions could not be understood, and the address didn't show up in the database.
Quite common. When the directions go something like: "Turn left at the Seven Eleven, no i don't know the name of the street. Go to the third dead armadillo, turn right, then left, then right again, and it's the house somewhere down there with the blue chevy out front" You know it's going to be a bad night. |

Quoted: It would not have happened on my shift. I'm good. Phat, if you're a sworn officer, go to the calibre press site (calibrepress.com) and do a search for 'not on my shift'. If you're not sworn, please disregard this. |

Once again John trumpets the JBT's over non-officer people.....John, are yuo telling me that you couldn't follow the directions you gave within 40 minutes? Or are you ignoring the fact that the lady gave then another number to call for directions? Please help me to understand.
And go to the third dead armadillo is good Texas directions...... |

Could she have been more vague? "She also confirmed the Godfreys' address: 22953 Eagle River Road, at Mile 4.6." Jake |

Wasn't there a thread not too long ago about another poorly performing dispatcher?
A man called 911 in fear of his life and the dispatcher told him he shouldn't be afraid since he was behind his locked door, to be a man, and if that didn't work to go stay in a hotel. |

Erm.
She gave them her daughters phone number. She confirmed the ADDRESS. the Dispatcher DID NOT ask for directions even though the ADDRESS was not in the 911 computer system. The dispathcer kept telling the lady 'they are just outside' for how long? half an hour? the Lady hung up, then hung up on them again when they interupted her dialing (Id assume to her daughter) THEN they asked for directions. 40 minutes into the call. FREAKING MORONS of a 911 dispatcher. The article doenst say, I wonder if that F-up cost her husband his life. |

Totally inexcusable.
My fiance is a 911 operater/ dispatcher, and I can assure that would never happen in my county. Any decent EOC/dispatch center has enough resources at hand to figure out where someone is calling from, and the fact that they ignored a second number they were given that they could call for directions is inexcusable. The person who handled that call and the supervisor on duty need to lose thier jobs for this one. One bright spot is that the county can be held civily liable in cases like this. |

That's 911 for you.
I called once. There was a party at the neibors house and many of the partiers thought it was cool to start tossing bottles and the other houses around them. The dispatch told me to go over and ask them to please stop. Right. 1 guy vs 100 drunks at 2:30 am. I did have justice in the end. I crancked up SPR and got out the lazer...... I have heard that a blank buster and the lazer works well. I have never tried it as that might be illeagal. Someone should start dial911anddie.com amd put up a collection of this crap. |

Hound, Nowhere did I defend this.
Nowhere did I say there was not a screwup. In short, I did not deserve a personal attack like yours. I'd like an apology please. |
