Yea, we have more officers hurt during domestics than from bar room fights. It never fails, the wife calls 911 to have the 'so in so' arrested but when officers arrive and try to handcuff the abuser, the wife kicks in with 'DON'T MESS WITH MY MAN!!" A simple argument between a man/woman can turn volatile very quickly.

Example of how a simple call can turn ugly quickly...

We are having hard rain here tonight and we have had several trees down. Most of them have been simple clean ups but one large one was covering 2 lanes of traffic and we had fire enroute to get it. However before the fire could get there, a young woman hit the tree head on, she was not injuried but her veh caught on fire. The car fire led to the tree on fire!!! The incident description had to be changed from tree down to accident no injuries to vehicle fire then to a woods fire!!! Finally we just a general code in which is our signal for such cluster Fucks. It is listed in our computer as GFUM (general fucked up mess)!!

Well, that's not boring. :eek:

Well it's raining which means that none of these Morons in this county can drive!!! But at least it causes job security.

Just hope it stops raining before you have to drive home among them.:eek3:

If you are supposed to dial 999- that would be dialing 3, 9 times? :3eye:

In about 1988 I got my first car phone. It wasn't a cell phone as they were new and expensive and resembled old WWII walkie talkies. Mine was known as a car land line and was similar to the old "ship to shore" radios. The handset was a princess style phone with a mounting plate that I installed to my center console. There was a huge transmitter box that was mounted under the drivers seat. I got it from a guy who was splurging on a cell phone.

Anyway, I used it to call 911 (which was relatively new then) and reported a house fire in an old neighborhood I was passing through. The dispatcher kept asking me my address and I told him I was in my car and it was like he could not understand how I could be in my car and he said I could be punished with jail time for doing a hoax like this. I kept trying to report the fire and the address and he finally connected me to the fire dept who took down the information but told me not to leave the scene or I would be arrested. I did and I wasn't but I wonder if they ever showed up to put out the fire.

It would be interesting to find out, chris, that's for sure. I know that I have been with 911 for almost 13 yrs and just in that amount of time, our technology has changed drastically. I can only imagine how it was in the 'old days' before enhanced 911! It is hard enough to get directions from 'old timers' who give us directions like, 'it's over here next to where old Mert's house burned down in the 70's and now there is a tree stump with lots of grass around it!' LOL
