Have you ever spoken to a police dispatcher??

Question

Was your conversation pleasant??

Answer 1

Yes and yes, both from a law enforcement point of view and when I called as a civilian.

Answer 2

yes and no it wasnt lol they sound more angry that you called than helpful

Answer 3

Yes, on numerous occasions.  

And generally pleasant might be an overstatement.  If I am calling the police, I really am not trying to make a friend.  I give the dispatcher the information I know as rapidly as I think they can take the info, and then I answer his or her questions so they can get the appropriate response.  

I have never had a bad conversation.  

Answer 4

Yes, and yes.  And I used to be one also.

Answer 5

Spoken to one? I have been one. So has my sister. So I guess both answers would be yes.

Answer 6

yes and  most of the time...

I am a police dispatcher so I have spoken with many, and most of the time when I speak with other dispatchers it is pleasant but sometimes they are vicious and seem to be having a bad day. But when I talk to people, I always want them to feel as if they have a had a pleasant conversation with me and I want to be as helpful as I can

Answer 7

Yes and Yes, he was very helpful.

Answer 8

I've been a police dispatcher for 4, I supervise a dispatch center, and I must say we aren't very pleasant. In fact I can't stand most of the people I work with. Maybe that says more about me then them!

Answer 9

Yes and yes, but she wasn't at work at the time.

Answer 10

Yes and yes:)

Answer 11

Yes I have, and yes, most of the time they are helpful and and friendly, but they are very businesslike, b/c of the nature of their work. They undoubtedly get alot of crank calls and they just don't have time for people to mess around with them. They want you to directly tell them what the problem is so they can efficiently get help to you, should you need it. And if your problem is low-priority they may put you on hold b/c there might be a more urgent call, an emergency, that they have to deal with. (It is the police station, after all.) But they're not mean or rude, at least in my experience.  

Answer 12

Yupp!

When somebody broke into my friend's house while we were having a sleepover. The dispatcher was really nice and helpful! So yes, we had a pleasant conversation lol
