It's 30 minutes before shift change, all your reports are written, and a call comes in. Who gets it? Especially if you just worked graveyard.

Depends on the call. If low priority dispatchers will usually park it for the dayshift. If higher priority it get's responded to and the station will usually get someone out on the road to relieve you if necessary. But a lot depends on the call and circumstances.

The rifle round that nearly missed another one of my partner’s heads and hit the spotlight on the patrol unit….

Some B&E's wait for as much as 24-48 hours. Having said that some busy nights the calls get so backed up that a sound of gunshots might wait an hour or more for a car to be available to attend. This isn't because of current staffing levels, that's been the case for decades. There sometimes are just too many calls for available staff. Other times you sit around with no calls to respond to. Catch up on reports or do some proactive policing. (hunting). |

Our policy states we have 60 minutes to respond to a routine call, 15 minutes to a priority call and about 3-5 minutes for an emergent call. During a heightened situation like what occurred last week, we stop responding to ALL routine calls and will only respond to priority and emergent calls. |

Oops, sorry, it's been well over 50 years since I was in and I thought your insignia was sonar, not radar. I went in as an ET and came out an SK due to a bit of color blindness (didn't affect my work but I couldn't pass the test.) |

No worries! We squids are all the same! As an OS, I was also an Air intercept Controller. I figured that as hard as it was to get two airplanes together (cutoff angles and all that), keeping them apart would be gravy. Then I found out that the only difference is there were many, many more of them and they all wanted to go to the same place! So I spent my career packing 10# of airplanes into a 5# airport! It sure was fun, though! Talk about an adrenaline rush!

gotcha, the cry wolf and alarms is so fucked on both sides. you have your pearl clutchers with sensitive ass alarms and then you guys slow down response time because of false alarms. there should be some sort of ordinance on alarm installation and sensitives. and thats coming from a major ordinance and government keep your nose out my shit "person" |

Difference between the services: Given the order to secure a building......... Marines--Attack it. Army--Post guards, nobody in nobody out. Air Force--Buy it. Navy--Turn off the lights, lock the doors, go home. |

One of my favorites... The Army & Marines sleep under the stars... The Navy navigates by the stars... The (Ch)Air Force rates hotels by stars. Last edited by ezaircon4jc; 03-23-2023 at 10:51 PM.. |
