Longmont Dispatch

[RISC777]

Sounds like a trainee dispatcher is at work this evening in Longmont.

Kind of interesting listening (as she gets prompts and 'what to do's in the background.

There are a few new ones dispatching here in Longmont. I often hear the dispatcher training the trainee in the backgrounds when they are dispatching fire/medical calls. It's like an echo or the airwaves.

The incident though I believe you were referring to was a suicidal man who ended up being tazed by officers when he climbed on the roof.

What I caught was her, the trainee as far as I know, got stuck on some wording. She was prompted to state "respond non-emergent" from a guy in the background. :-> She sounded okay and not too stressed, so that's a good thing.

I can always tell when a newbie is at the mic.

I think a prerequisite before actually dispatching among the others is to listen to a scanner for a month, at least. :lol:
