Do you feel confident in your 911 system?

Question

What type of environment (rural, suburban, urban, etc.) do you live in? Why have you had to call 911 in the first place?

Answer 1

Three years ago, My best friend was murdered by her husband. He was in the Guard and got away with it. She called 911 and it was never reporter to the police. She was unable to speak due to the shot she took to her head. They were in the middle of a divorce and was pregnant. She left 2 other children and a loving family but I think she was let down when she managed to call for help in a state that did not allow her to speak. She never met my 18 month old daughter who accidentally called 911 when playing with my house phone. I had two officers respond to that nonverbal call. Kerry Repp. She loved Elvis. Dr. Pepper lip balm. Doc Marten shoes. She had this way of dancing in place when talking to you, like she didn't even know she was doing it. I miss you, Kerry!

Answer 2

I'm in a urban setting where I'm comfortable with our 911 system. Those Dispatchers do alot of stressful work for not enough money, benefits or understanding. They do the best they can for what they are given to work with.
