911 Dispatchers

First responders may have minutes to mentally prepare while responding to a call. 911 dispatchers can't prepare for the unknown. #IAM911

Night shift roll call. Where is everyone from? Time to hold down the fort in this big city! #dispatch #graveyard #nightshift

Overhearing a coworker arguing with a 911 caller: "You CANNOT call 911 because the buttertarts you bought are stale" #saturdaynight #911

Not sure whats worse: the rookie who screams into the radio or the old timer who asks me to repeat every damn thing #dispatcherprobs #police

"Yeah I'd like to report shots fired." ... "Ok how long ago?" ... "I heard about 3 shots last night" ... "😐 what?" #911calls #dispatchers

Caller on 911: "My girlfriend has become a tree!" My first question? "Sir what drugs have you taken tonight??" #dispatchers

Just dispatched medical to a 30 y/o patient who is 17 weeks pregnant and drunk. Sad.

Dispatchers, lets talk mental health. What are some things you do, on duty or off, that help you relieve job-related stress?

Dispatched a call yesterday for a male who got his hand stuck in a zamboni. It doesn't get more Canadian then that😂 #canada #funny #dispatch

Any dispatchers out there with the aspirations of becoming a police officer?

Imagine this: all residential phones and some cell service areas are completely down in 85% of the city. Makes for an eerie shift

Lets be real, the #1 worst thing about working day shifts? Bosses and management in the building #NightShift #ThinBlueLine

Just took a 911 call, "I can't open my pickle jar". So its a slow night, I help him. I say "enjoy ur pickles" Him? "I will in my ass" umm

Well it looks like everyone decided to forget about the basic rules of the road today.. 20+ MVA's in 4 hours 😑

Okay this is cheesy.. the future of 911. #emojency

Attention all Americans, Canada's arms are wide open if you just want to escape 😝 #Election2016 #vote

As a Canadian, I am scared about todays results. I can't even imagine what my fellow dispatchers to the south are feeling! #USADecides #vote

Well folks it's that time of year. #nightshift #graveyardshift #dispatchers #thinblueline

Not to mention 11 cardiac arrests within 8 hours.. I swear its the chocolate! #dispatch #ems #fire

Guy comes to Police HQ wanting to be arrested for no reason. We turn him away. Subject then carjacks someone a block away #uhhok #desperate

I'm sure all night shifters can relate! Maybe I should invest in some blackout curtains! #nightshift #dispatchers
