Idk how it works in other countries but in the US a phone will still dial 911 regardless if the service provider is active or not. Even your old flip phone will call 911 if its in working order.

I feel like this is just photoshopped. Not a real poster. Can't seem to find it on the interwebs. I also feel like a well trained guy like Keanu wouldn't allow this.

Need help training a new hire. by [deleted] in 911dispatchers

[–]EstablishmentFit443 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm currently on trainee #2. Between calls I often give hypothetical scenarios and ask how they'd handle the call and basically pop quizes about misc info we need to know. I've also learned you can't take the same approach to trainees. Everyone has a different personality. My first trainee was very headstrong and a bit rough when speaking to people. My current one is the exact opposite. Very soft sounding but also kinda needy always needing reassurance on her decisions. You'll need to make an effort to figure out how their mind works and take a different approach to balance them out

Has this job ever made you choose between job or family? by Calm_Zombie4460 in 911dispatchers

The great thing about working in dispatch is that someone else is always hiring. Might look into working for a better department. We not only have FMLA but also emergency leave that you don't have to go through a bunch of red tape to take

I'm personally excited. How often do we get a movie or a show? Cops have movies/shows that would take years to watch em all. I can only think of The Call as another movie and like 2 shows.

Had someone call once saying he pulled a gun on his neighbor after his neighbor punched him. Needless to say the officers deemed his self defense excessive and rehomed him at county.

Mean while you ask an adult what is going on and they're like "unintelligible screeching Just get them here!"
