9-1-1 What Is Your Emergency‪?‬

This book contains actual 911 emergency and non-emergency calls that came into the San Diego Police Department Communications Division during my 19 years as a Police 911 Dispatcher.


The book represents the calls received as accurately as possible.  I did not embellish them to make the calls funnier or more exciting.  These are actual calls, often unbelievable.


This book is a way for me to portray the "real world" of a 911 dispatcher.  As you read through the book.  I hope you can get a sense of the many emotions that I felt during the course of each shift.
