“First” first responder

I really enjoy my job. It’s most entertaining when the worst things are happening. Morbid, I know. But, in this field it’s what you become. Our busy and exciting days are generally your worst. Pursuits, murders, in progress calls and burglaries….give em all to me.
This is not because I want bad things for anyone but this is what I am trained to do. I answer your calls when u need me most. I am good at it. I maintain a calm demeanor when you are having the worst day ever.

I am the calm warm center in the middle of your storm. I am the voice that you will never connect to a face. I am your temporary relief. When you hang up, I am your forgotten.

I dispatch. I am 911. What’s your emergency?
