>but we do not provide

Another of my pet peeves... In the past we have actually had officers call

our

dispatchers asking for wake up calls....

Grown men/women who apparently are responsible enough to

carry a gun and arrest people...

But aren't responsible enough to get out of bed on their own...

Something my children were doing when they were 6/7 years old...

Gheeezzzeeee......

Funny thing you should mention that <Snip>but we do not provide

wake up calls, to the general public anyway,

When I was 911 Director we had a policy that we didn't provide wake-up calls

PERIOD!. The Police Department nearly had a smothering spell over that one.

We are Professional Public Safety Telecommunicators-running a Comm. Center to

help

saves lives, protect property, curb crime, and prevent major fire loss. Were

not

the " Holiday Inn desk clerk " . If we (Communicators) manage to get up at a

specific

time, in order to be at a specific place, at a specific time, then you can do it

also.

As the saying goes " We can be responsible to you, but we can't be responsible

for

you " .........
