as a volunteer firefighter our job is hard . but i cant imagin being a dispatcher.. we all take 911 for granted but all i can say is Thank God for it.
I've been a dispatcher for a while but I see us as a necessary evil in a department ruled by sworn personnel. It's the non-sworn not born mentality of police managers that has us in a dark closet. Is like we are the unwanted stepchild. When management talks about a raise, it's for the sworn officers, when management talks about benefits it's for the sworn officers. We do a good job and it's not rewarded. Now make a mistake & they are up and ready to write you up in a second.
Great video and so very true! I am an Advanced Emergency Medical Dispatcher (EMD) in the UK and I love my job! we use the MPDS protocols too. EMD's across the world are saving lives everyday!
i am a 911 dispatcher myself and this video is so true.. it takes a special person to do this job.. i love my job and love to help people everyday, when we all go home safe that is a good day!!
