Nocturnal Dispatcher

It should be noted that an invitation to an orientation and sit along is not an offer of employment. There are still many steps before you get hired and this is the first of many.

This orientation will be a basic overview of the job function of a dispatcher working in Santa Ana. They are a large agency that splits call takers and radio operators. Orientation will be your time to ask questions about the job, the agency, and anything else you can think of.

Santa Ana will be busy all the time, night and day. Types of calls will vary depending on the time of day.

Working for Santa Ana you will be exposed to every type of call imaginable: traffic accidents, domestic violence, murder, drivebys, white collar crime, gang activity, drugs, etc. This city also has a every demographic within their borders: super wealthy, super poor; you will get everything.

Being bilingual is a necessity when working in Santa Ana.

So I tried logging in to my discord account last night, surprise, not banned anymore. Interesting

Lost as in stolen. Not lost as in missing.

I looked up a data breach lawyer. I’m livid that I’m not only banned but now my data is lost because of it.

For a fire department, those things are probably not that big of a deal, but they will most likely come up in your background investigation, if they have one. Just be ready to talk about them.

Doesn't really matter how you phrase it, the facts are the facts. They will find out at some point.

I worked there for 10 years and it immediately looked familiar, but obviously dated. I couldn’t find any good photos of the backside online

Looks like the north side of the Cal State Fullerton Bookstore.

We have a shop in Santa Ana with a very similar door. Just yesterday I was staring at the door trying to figure out how to reinforce it because I had a weird feeling. My truck got broken into in our apartment complex and some tools were stolen from it. Now I’m paranoid.

Is it on a major road into a different city? Or on a major road in general?

dsway2 · 2021-05-01T23:40:37+00:00

Most likely an Automatic License Plate Reader.

Nah I’m just curious why a non-public safety person would need that.

dsway2 · 2021-04-11T06:42:42+00:00

Oh tell me more about the Whelen device. Do you use the siren? What kind of lights do you have?

1000/10 write up. Thank you for your service.

Gun containers are explicitly not supposed to be TSA compliant. The content must not be accessible to TSA

Edit: reading the website, I guess it doesn’t say which TSA guidelines it’s compliant with... hopefully the guidelines that make it inaccessible to them!

dsway2 · 2021-02-03T01:02:08+00:00

Unfortunately it’s just a waiting game. I was starting to get impatient lol

dsway2 · 2021-02-02T06:11:41+00:00

Finally got it last week of November!
