I, in my bias opinion, believe dispatchers should be added to the subtitle of this forum. It is currently "LEO, FF, & EMS Forum."
Opinions? |

Quoted:
I think they are part of LE. You can't have a department without patrol, investigations, and communications. Dispatch sometimes has a unique perspective that we all need. Keep them here!! I'm not a dispatcher. Not all dispatch centers are LE or under control of LE. One of the larger agencies in the state is funded separate from LE/FF/EMS. They handle all types of calls for all 3 types of agencies. |
| Don't know why you feel left out. In my world our dispatch center takes all the calls LEO/EMS/FIRE and even takes and dispatches calls for SAR, the National Park, US Fish and Wildlife, USFS, and Wildland crews....I don't think it is intentional...I would say dispatch could include itself under any or all of those categories. |

I have no problem with dispatchers, hell I wouldnt wish their job on anyone. I hate it when I used to get stuck in Dispatch when our dispatcher called in. Our dispatchers are covered under our police bargining unit so I my mine they are one of "us." We all work in the same "industry" of public service regardless of which area u work.
Just my 2 cents J- |

Its called brothers of the shield for a reason. Not, shields. Shield. Why? Because the badge might say different things, but the people behind it are all on the same team. 
That's why I like having LEO/FF/EMS all in one forum. And yes, dispatchers are an integral part of all three, so you guys can join in on all the fun too. Just a lowly hosedraggers opinion. |

(Our LE doesn't even handle dog calls unless the dog has been aggressive and basically by aggressive I mean has bitten someone.
We'd all commit suicide if we didn't joke around. |
