re: #264 talon_262

Any just about any locality or county that’s bigger than Mayberry that I’m aware of, calling the cops gets you a public safety dispatcher, not a field officer. Most dispatchers in departments larger than a handful of employees may not even be considered sworn peace officers, just basically call takers.

Working in the alarm business as a central station dispatcher gives me a bit of insight on this particular issue.

This was in a city in excess of a million residents.
