911 Operator Asleep Follow UP

Tonight I did a little digging around some of the Memphis area news websites just to check on and see if anything else has been updated. Now I have no way of confirming this but one web site (Los Angeles) did mention that the supervisor and the dispatcher were both fired.

Now 2 other news sites didn’t mention a thing about that and just mentioned that they were still on leave.

I truthfully hope they got fired regardless if he fell asleep and zoned out. He shouldn’t have taken that long to call..

911 Operator Falls Asleep during call

Can you imagine? What if that was you, calling in saying someone is trying to break into my house and you hear a pause and then snoring? What if someone was having a heart attack? Stabbing? Shooting? Can you imagine?

I found this site: (click here) that has the text of the conversation and I also watched the video on CNN.

This is just nuts..
I’m glad I don’t live in Memphis.

Oh yeah, at this time the dispatcher received 7 days leave and they didn’t even look into it until a local TV Station started to investigate the story.. What kind of crap is that?
