Most of my episodes, I'll feature some insane over-the-top calls that a single dispatcher might have something to do with once every blue moon.

Truth be told, most of the calls we take are very routine.

Someone calling in for a reckless driver on the interstate that is speeding

and passing cars on the shoulder. Obviously someone calling about something like that is concerned

with the safety of other drivers on the road. Another caller, right after that, might be calling

because sometime in the dark of the night, someone broke into their car, stealing

valuables such as a tablet or laptop, maybe a wallet mistakenly left in there.

Others will call because they just got notified from their credit car company that there

are some odd charges from a different state, and that they figure out that someone

has got their information and is committing theft by fraud. These are all very routine calls,

and any dispatcher will take multiple of these every single day. The crazy ones I play on the show,

they absolutely do happen, but not nearly as often as others.

What makes the dispatcher, along with police and fire, really stand out at times, are the incidents

where there's little to nothing on the front end.

The ones that might seem routine, but jump to an entirely different level when the

investigation starts.

In this episode, I'll be talking about some stuff that most times turns out to be

little or nothing, but can go from zero to 100 before you know it.

You'll really need to buckle up on this one.

Welcome back to Music City

911.

Thank you. On June 25th, 2020, at 3.22 a.m. Dispatch in Sacramento, California received a 911 call that was what we call an open line.
