It
must be a challenge to be responsbile for 911 emergency
calls.
And things like this can make it even worse!
Here are some actual transcripted calls that came into the Memphis 911
Facility:
Dispatcher : 9-1-1 What is
your emergency?
Caller: I heard what
sounded like gunshots coming from
the brown house on the
corner.
Dispatcher: Do you have an
address?
Caller: No, I have on a
blouse and slacks, why?
******************************************************************************
Dispatcher: 9-1-1 What is
your emergency?
Caller : Someone broke
into my house and took a bite
out of my ham and cheese
sandwich .
Dispatcher : Excuse me?
Caller : I made a ham and
cheese sandwich and left it on
the kitchen table and when
I came back from the bathroom,
someone had taken a bite
out of it.
Dispatcher : Was anything
else taken?
Caller : No, but this has
happened to me before and I'm
sick and tired of it!
******************************************************************************
Dispatcher: 9-1-1 What is
the nature of your emergency?

reach nine eleven but my phone doesn't
have an eleven on it.

eleven.
