This post was in response originally to Dispatchers... Why?
Realized it was restricted.. sorry guys.. but I HADDA TELL IT!
I hear you on the dispatchers thang. I'm Police clerk and so rather than switching to county chanel to do dl & warrant checks, I do them for our officers.
Our county dispatchers are notorious for being "Badge collectors", if you know what I mean. Fortunately they are awesome and professional on the radio, but every once in a while they tend to get a lil ****y. As do the officers.
I remember that one particular dispatcher, got all bitchy at me when my Sergeant told me to call the county and get an RP's phone number and call him. He gave me no other instructions, and I know this guy well. If I had asked, why? He would have been like.. JUST DO WHAT I SAID AND DONT ASK QUESTIONS! I call up dispatch and this chick that drools at the sight of him, (and who I went to the academy with and is particularly jealous that she dont have my job) answers up and I ask for the RP's phone #. She starts questioning me and yelling at me because I don't know why he wants me to call and not them. I was like, " I have no idea, whats the number, whats the number please. He is waiting"
Well she finally gave it up and later on after the call she sends him an MDT message asking about why he had me call, and he was told her that he was on foot and wanted to be able to relay messages to the RP and vise versa and didn't want to take up air space, that it was none of her damn business and she should think again before questioning his authority. He asked me about it later and wanted to know what she said to me. needless to say, she expressed her appologies..lol
Off the air its all drama. lol.
