You'd be wrong.  Deaths don't occur because of it.  They have these things called "other dispatchers" that take up the slack.
They should be OK with the new camera systems being installed to watch them sleep then  

They don't sleep in the center itself at any of the ones here. They have quiet dark areas they can go to.  Your blind dislike of .gov employees in this instance is based in a certain level of simply not knowing shit about it.

They should, though there are many more serious risks going on every day at thousands of centers all across the US.

Pictures of people sleeping look bad, but there are tons of things that could be fixed before this that would have a greater positive impact. I'd take those sleeping dispatchers with access to proven protocols any day of the week over centers who freelance.

ETA: that said, I'll stick to my original response that sleeping on the job shouldn't be happening, and agency supervisors and administrators are responsible for it.

My mother was a 911 operator for 20 years. Her and a another co-worker answered more calls combined than the rest of the call takers.  
She answer about 35% per shift, her co-worker did about 42% in his shift, and the rest (About 4-5 operators) made up the rest.
This is how it is in a big city, unionized work force. It was shameful.

I am union member (FOP), and feel they do a great job, but it does lead to
Many workers becoming lazy.  And when it comes to emergency personnel, there
Is no room for laziness.

Perhaps.  I'm sure they were diligently "working."

Funny, I first got hooked on arfcom years ago working at a job with a boss like some posters here.  When sitting at my desk, when I wasn't actively doing my job (which meant not sitting at my desk, unless I was finalizing details for the next time I left my desk), I had very little to do.  So, I fucked around online, waiting for e-mails to show up.  That made me look productive.  Sleeping would often have been far more productive, but sleeping would have gotten me in trouble.  Heck, not being at my desk for any reason could - I was afraid to take a shit.

Those were 12-16 hour days usually.

A) The photo shows fraud. The media is reporting that training was supposed to be taking place and instead the Dispatch Supevisor and her student were both asleep.

B) Show us where in the Job Description for a Dispatch Supervisor that states that is part of your duties to sleep while on the clock (i.e. not on break).

It's just making excuses for laziness and stealing a salary for work not provided.

To be honest, you really can't complain about 911 operators ignoring 911 calls when Miami cops ignore 911 dispatches for emergencies.

Several Miami-Dade Officers Fired, Suspended For Dereliction Of Duty
February 4, 2013



MIAMI (CBS4) – The Miami Dade Police Department has fired a sergeant and two officers for dereliction of duty and suspended three others without pay in what is considered one of the worst incidents of delinquency in the department’s history.

The accusations vary against each officer, but they include: failing to respond to emergency calls, pretending to be on calls when they weren’t, and falsifying police records.

The officers – an entire squad assigned to patrol a large swath of Kendall – were followed and caught on surveillance video by Internal Affairs in 2010. Investigators even used tracking devices on the officers’ cars to catalog their movements. But it wasn’t until September 2012 that they were ultimately disciplined.


The most egregious incident involved an emergency call in which a five month old child was unconscious and in need of medical attention. Both Socarras and paramedics are dispatched, with each being told to proceed with lights and sirens.

Socarras tells the dispatcher he is “en route.” In reality, he was sitting at an outdoor table at Casa Larios drinking coffee. He never tried to go to the call. Paramedics would reach and care for the child. And even though he didn’t go, Socarras wrote on his daily report that he went to the scene.

No problem with this from my point of view.  Way too many unknowns here.  I spent two years as a C-shift supervisor.  Almost every night someone would fall asleep.  Sometimes it would be me.  It was never the same people so I never did much about it.  Some would sleep during breaks or during lunch.  We were all permanent third shift.  I would get what I called "the slows".  The whole world would shift into slow motion.  Even when walking it was like walking in slow motion.  A quick 5 or 10 minute rest and I would be good to go for the rest of the shift.  It only happened once a month or so, but it when it did you could not fight it.

FWIW, I came off third shift in 1985 and I still feel the effects of what lack of sleep did to me during those two years.  It's like all my get up and go got up and left.  I really have to force myself to maintain any sort of ambition to get things done.  Essentially working third shit was two solid years of jet lag.  Every weekend I would switch to days for the family.  One day my kids came up to me and told me that I should tell my boss I was going back on days because I was a lot nicer then.

ETA:  I did get sick and tired of all comments about the night shift during management meetings.   I finally asked one of the worst offenders why my shift had 1/3 the absentee rate of his shift and why my shift. which had half as many techs as his, was able to get twice as much testing done.  From my point of view my people were working 4 times as hard as his and that he should tend to his own crew first.

This gentlemen gets it. Unless you've worked it, you have no idea. It's even worse if you're on rotating shifts, your body never gets a chance to get on any sort of a normal cycle.



I've been on straight mids now for the better part of nine years. If i told you I never fell asleep, I'd be a liar. Imagine it's 4AM, you're all arf'ed out, nothing else to do but stare at the clock, guess what happens. I can be a lot more lenient for a few minutes, but sleeping for a long time in REM mode is totally wrong. And our mids crew is more productive than eves or days too.

Wow I took way to long to actually go and read these.

Two stories involve 911 calls that were answered, but for which no units were available to respond. Doesn't have anything to do with sleeping.

Three stories have to do with 911 call centers who didn't have staffing enough during periods of extremely high call volume. Nothing to do with sleeping.

One story speaks of a situation where 3 of 4 calltakers were on break, so a 911 call went unanswered. This possibly had something to do with sleeping.
