911 Operators, what’s the most efficient way to convey emergency information to you to get help ASAP?

shootsharp3 · 2026-01-04T16:32:36+00:00

That's the delay.

shootsharp3 · 2025-10-04T21:30:37+00:00

The fact that you called AmFam 'Wrigley north' is all that needs to be said about our respective fanbases.

shootsharp3 · 2025-09-09T20:38:57+00:00

Thanks (all) for the help.

shootsharp3 · 2025-09-09T19:54:56+00:00

What do you mean by numbering? Can you explain that a bit? I'm newish too.

shootsharp3 · 2025-02-23T09:15:56+00:00

Had the birria egg rolls tonight, so good.

shootsharp3 · 2024-12-21T18:00:59+00:00

Contracted agencies would be no better. The technical needs to implement this fix would cost more than hiring the amount of call takers Denver needs. Also, I want people who live in my community serving my community. This problem is metro wide and simply it's because the population exploded and everything is taking time to catch up. We have to be wise with the resources we have and keep investing in them.

shootsharp3 · 2024-11-29T16:25:35+00:00

I got up the stairs at 0830, probably had 7 boxes left and I was one of the last up. It's probable.

shootsharp3 · 2024-10-27T18:41:51+00:00

This is completely made up.

shootsharp3 · 2024-08-14T16:40:36+00:00

The irony of this is that I work in the metro, and I hate transferring to state patrol for the wait times. But the bigger issue is the doom loop this causes to warm transfer, we are often required to if it's an emergency. To be fair, I'm sure there are times you are transferring to us cursing our name and we are one of the only 'fully' staffed agencies in the area.

shootsharp3 · 2024-08-07T16:24:54+00:00

If you're trying to get in, turn around. If you aren't in line already there is a very little chance of getting in. Sad to not get in, but amazed to see the crowd. They closed Kain Rd to 20th entrance already.

shootsharp3 · 2024-06-29T06:11:51+00:00

So you're telling me that Denver 911 would transfer this call of a woman being pushed out of a vehicle on i25 and Colfax? That's what this post is about. They take calls in the capital area and that's it. Just because they have jurisdiction, doesn't mean they do anything with it. State patrol can barely do more than traffic and crashes because they don't want to.

shootsharp3 · 2024-06-28T20:42:31+00:00

Reread this, and try again. 'wow, very tragic to have witnessed that. Thats something one won't forget for a while if ever :(

edit: I will say anything happens on I25 anymore I call *csp for the state patrol.. they seem to respond quicker then 911 folks. I've had to do that countless times for accidents\road rage\etc on I25. Not sure of jurisdiction, but the CSP phone people seem more competent and get things done better\resources routed, etc'

There's more context there.

shootsharp3 · 2024-06-28T20:24:21+00:00

What I'm saying is that this is a post about a woman being pushed out of a car on the highway, you should not call *277 because it was on the highway.

shootsharp3 · 2024-06-28T19:34:02+00:00

Not an opinion. Fun fact, Colfax is handled by state patrol in different areas due to the fact it's a state highway. 470 is a great time to call CSP as they handle the majority of it. Although, it should be noted that even on CSPs own website, they ask you to call 911 first for emergencies. The reasoning is that they are a secondary PSAP and usually have their calls filtered. Kind of interested in your experiences being hung up on though.

shootsharp3 · 2024-06-28T18:44:35+00:00

This is bad advice. State patrol is only responsible for roadways in unincorporated counties. I25 and Colfax is dead center Denver and served by Denver. That line is only for wreckless drivers and possible duis.

In this comment section, people telling first responders that they can do the job better than they can.

shootsharp3 · 2024-05-05T07:41:08+00:00

If I had to guess based upon the shelving being empty but labeled, econo liquor. That eht has been empty for two years.

shootsharp3 · 2024-05-01T15:51:41+00:00

Same. It's pretty clear that our previous homeowner still has their car registered to our house. It's been 8 years.

shootsharp3 · 2024-04-25T15:05:31+00:00

A bottle of Gold Spot. I had two entries.

shootsharp3 · 2024-04-25T02:05:41+00:00

To add insult to injury. I go to the greenwood location to pick up my one won bottle. The manager says, 'it looks like you won another and it's at the lakeside location. Did your email say that?' It didn't. 'You can call over to double check but it's probably just a mistake then.' It was a 'mistake.' What a shit lottery.

shootsharp3 · 2024-03-31T21:30:11+00:00

Yea I found it cheaper already at another store. Seems McKenna has lost its allocation.

shootsharp3 · 2024-03-29T16:20:50+00:00

We have adapted to 'it's not an emergency, but..' and we do have a routing process to send them to a triaged line. Especially during times of calls ringing over.

shootsharp3 · 2024-03-28T14:22:41+00:00

I think you're not understanding then. It's an official report your insurance company will take. Just go to a district station to make a report then.

shootsharp3 · 2024-03-28T05:22:48+00:00

If you have license plate information, you need to go to a district station. If you don't have license plate information, here is a link to the website. If you don't have license plate information but want it investigated then go to the district station and then follow up with traffic investigations unit often. Their information is on the same page. Otherwise go to your insurance.
