Pulled off the interstate for a pit stop.

I'll admit I don't understand it.  A skull with headphones?

Billy bad ass right there. There’s usually one or two dispatchers in every PSAP that wear 5.11 pants and a thin blue line punisher shirt or something ironic like that.

if you ask them what they do, they're basically door kickers with a headset.

Edit - the majority are great people that have a sense of community service and are good at their jobs. But when you meet that special dispatcher, they’re speicial.

That’s as bad as the TBL “wife” sticker I saw on a vehicle the other day. Why would anyone want to advertise they’re a cops wife? That’s like painting a giant target on your car for every criminal fuck out there

I’ve worked in a 911 Center for almost a decade now, pretty stupid looking sticker IMO.  In no way do I equate my position to that of the responders on the road, but the job is pretty high stress at times, and pretty important.

I bet that is the dispatcher that sends the Officer that does too much self initiated while she is on Amazon on the worst calls on purpose.

I worked in the operations center of a Federal disaster response organization; what you say is dead on.

My favorite was the guy who had his own badge made.

Many years ago I took my CHL class from a guy that worked as a local PD dispatcher.  He was so full of himself that from the way he talked you would think he was the head of the SWAT team.

LMAO. I was a dispatcher working nights while I was in school. I worked for chill small city so it was a pretty sweet gig, had the place to myself, call volume was very low and officers were usually decent. Honestly dealing with the department administration was easily 10x worse than the actual job itself.

If you took the CHL in San Antonio I know exactly who you are talking about. My wife and I had the misfortune of taking our CHL there as well. The best part was when he told the class how when standing outside his shop with an AR15 he could see the pilots (who were busy landing passenger jets a mile away) get all freaked out looking at him. To this day that stands as the most I've ever heard said with a straight face.

There's a car around here with a Lineman's Wife sticker on the back glass.

Eta: I also know a woman who's married to a local deputy, she had a sticker with his unit number made up and put it in her back glass, like "<3 unit 27" or something.

I’m actually quite surprised that person was able to put their food down long enough to put the sticker on. Lord knows they have to always talk on the radio with a mouth full of donuts. Bunch of fat customer service reps is typically all they are.

I saw one once with a shirt on that said something like "God created dispatchers because even He needs heroes". It was hilarious at the time and even more so a few years later when we got our own access to the CAD system and found out how much information they were getting from callers and then withholding from us.

I hope to God you put your hand over your heart when speaking to him and finished the conversation with "Thank you for your service."

Stereotype much?

Did a dispatcher steal your cookies or did they send your annoying ass on a shitty call or something lol?

Plenty of Dispatchers are overweight.  High stress sedentary jobs are a perfect environment for it.  Shall we discuss how many overweight police officers there are?  Or how many cops do everything they can to get out of doing their job?  How many of them are on a power trip?  Is it the norm?  No it's not, so a decent person doesn't label all officers that way.  Saying an entire group of people are a "Bunch of fat customer service reps" makes you appear to have the same mentality as all the other "cops suck", "repubs are bad", "Conservatives are fascists" people.

Our dispatch supervisor has the little stick family thing on her car window. For herself she put a police officer. This woman is a 350lbs walking stereotype, when someone called her out about having a police officer representing herself she got really offended and said dispatching and police officer weren't that different.

How old did the driver look?

When you are new to public safety you feel like you are 10 feet tall and bulletproof and like to fly that flag high.

After a while, almost everyone tones it down to the level that is required to maybe get out of a ticket and begins to feel empty inside.

That's true. The ones I had on my shift were good and we took care of them. They
got paid very little and deal with a lot. Sitting in that chair doing that makes you want
