Dispatch to units
Dispatch to units: We received a call in reference to a traffic crash involving a vehicle versus a juvenile. The juvenile is not conscious and barely breathing.
Three more streets and I’ll be to him; I’m on my way.
I hold his neck stabilization willing him to make it while his mom screams in despair.
His tiny fishing pole sitting in the brush a few feet from his body.
The pounding of his pulse under my fingertip centering my thoughts on procedure.
Name, Birthday, Parents, Phone number
Name, Birthday, Parents, Phone number
Tell dispatch what you see!
Blood...
Rescue is here, and they fly him away.
It’s so inconvenient that I had to reroute when I always take this road. Can’t you just let me through?
No, I’m sorry.
Dispatch to units: We received a call in reference to a neighbor dispute over loud music.
I’m on my way.
His tiny hand was covered in blood.
Focus.
Tell me what’s going on today, how can I help you sir?
My neighbor has no regard and plays his music loudly out of his back yard everyday.
Sir I understand your frustration but he is not in violation of the noise ordinances and..
Just do your f-ing job and make him turn it down!
Sir I can’t, I don’t have a legal..
You can’t handle this? What’s your name and badge number? I’ll find someone who can.
Sir, he is not violating any laws.
Dispatch to units: We received a call in reference to a possible overdose. The caller found his friend turning blue, there’s a needle in her arm. Unknown how long she’s been down. She’s known to use fentanyl.
I’m on my way.
Is there fentanyl in the room? Is it safe for me to breath when I get there?
PLEASE, please help her, she’s been clean for 3 months!
She’s only 25, please!
Dispatch CPR is in progress: One, Two, Three...
What did she take, Where is it?
I don’t know.
Four, Five, Six...
What’s her name?
Omg please help her!
Dispatch Narcan administered.
Seven, Eight, Nine...
Angrily she awakens, what are you even doing here, I’m fine.
Ma’am you had no pulse, you overdosed.
F the cops, all they care about is making dope arrests and locking us up. The war on drugs is a joke.
Dispatch to units we received a call at a residence for an alarm, audible indicating side window break and interior motion.
I’m on my way.
How many of them are there?
Do they have weapons?
POLICE MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN!
No movement.
The audible tone of my radio beeps for traffic as I focus on the open door.
POLICE, THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING, COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!
No movement.
Let’s go in, I’ll take long you cover the left.
My hand involuntarily tightens on the grip of the gun as I walk into the unknown. Just make it home tonight.
Dispatch two black male juveniles wearing all black are fleeing south from the residence, one is armed with a hand gun.
STOP, POLICE!
They’re just kids, why did they have to point guns at them. It’s because cops are racist.
Dispatch to units: The caller is aware Animal control is not available but they found an injured raccoon in their yard and want contact.
Dispatch Can we have animal control respond to pick up a raccoon with distemper?
I’m starving, I can probably get something to go quickly.
Dispatch to units: We received a call in reference to a domestic disturbance. The husband strangled the caller and she’s bleeding from the face. Rescue is enroute and staging.
Ma’am, I don’t have a choice. I have to make an arrest.
He won’t do it again, I just made him upset. He didn’t mean it. I shouldn’t have called.
Please, take this as a sign to leave, I don’t want to see you hurt. Here are resources to help you leave.
Hello, State Attorney’s office, yes I want to drop charges against my husband.
Why didn’t they do more to protect her from him. They knew he was violent.
Dispatch to units: We received a call in reference to an unknown/ possible full arrest, the caller stated they found their 79 year old grand father cold to the touch and blue.
I’m on my way.
I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can do, he’s gone.
Do you have a funeral home chosen?
I’ll wait with his body.
Cops do nothing but sit around all day.
Dispatch to units: we received a call for a disturbance. A male is walking through peoples yards taking off his clothing and running around screaming.
Sir are you okay?
They’re trying to get me.
Who?
Can I talk to you as if we’re family?
Yes.
I’m hearing blue and green right now.
Sir are you on any medication? Have you slept?
No I don’t like it. I’m fine.
Do you know where you are?
I’m me.
Let me get you some help..?
NO GET AWAY.
Dispatch the male struck me in the face, give me radio traffic.
Why did they hit him, he was having a mental break down, he just needed help. They should’ve sent a counselor.
Dispatch I’ll be off duty now, see you tomorrow.
The tiny fishing pole was in his hand when he was hit.
I never ate today.

I hear what you say about the uniform I wear. I know you look at the media and see the bad. I’ll be on my way regardless. I will respond. I will stand for you. I will protect, enforce, coach, encourage, chase, hold your hand, and help you bury a loved one because that’s what I’ve been called to do. To be what you need in a time of crisis, whatever it may be.
I’ll be on my way..................
