Does ity matter that that very channel is almost optional to monitor considering that the main dispatch channel is the priority. Does anyone care that this was not an active call and not a officer safety issue ? The officer was not relaying informationd for offiecr safety he was passing the call to a north car. Area of integrity ? Kevin if as you so poignantly stated domestics are so dangerous and important should it really matter if its north or spouth, do those badges not say hartford police ? i dont recall ever seeing a hpd badch that has north car or south car on it ?

Head altogether and bring back the Sgt.'s in there and reimplement the preemployment background process for potential employees. You'll spend money on Sgt overtime but I guarantee it'll be less than what's paid out for Jaffee's, Bruce's&O'Dwyer's combined salaries. This type of stuff NEVER happened years ago when we had Sgt.'s in there. If my memory serves me correctly, it was Marquis' great epiphany to civilianize dispatch(Great chief he was). Not gonna bash anyone because there's enough fault to go around for everyone, but it can be reduced if an actual authority figure who's not afraid to do his/her job were in the office. Sick time is constantly abused by the same folks, people are always late and favoritism and bully tactics are at an all-time high(we all know what supervisor that is). An intervention needs to be had and not by Jaffe. He's weak and now everyone is speaking on it, so usher his ass out like Daryl and resurrect this place with new leadership by reintroducing old methodologies.Average Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-23586089764536907242012-03-03T16:42:19.812-05:002012-03-03T16:42:19.812-05:00Nothing will change until somebody gets killed.Nothing will change until somebody gets killed.Mr Kingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-80725932716887077722012-03-03T16:26:08.516-05:002012-03-03T16:26:08.516-05:00Instead of airing out your problems on this blog t...Instead of airing out your problems on this blog the Officers and Dispatchers should sit down and figure out how to fix the problems on both sides of the fence.By airing out your problems in a public fourm this this only makes the public you serve dis trust you more than they already do.This blog does nothing to make your job easier and less stressfulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-63298288100965857322012-03-03T14:35:34.424-05:002012-03-03T14:35:34.424-05:00What an embarrassment.

Looks like this post is turning out to be Hartford PD Dispatchers vs Hartford Cop Anonymous huh? Whichever cop requested for this recording to be burned and submitted it To Brookman has too much time on their hands. About lunch breaks?? Sorry they are not guaranteed. It's public safety dispatch if you didn't know which is also the 3rd most stressful job in the country. Not police work. See unlike you officers we cant hop in a car and drive to the other side of Hartford to grab something to eat (and you take that trip so willingly) but when you have to take a paper on the other side of town like on Charlotte st, all hell breaks loose. About ignoring the car south... Well Brookman didn't explain that this recording was from car south so it looks like the conversation took place on patrol 2 (1 of 2 primary channels we are obligated to monitor) <br />About letting the people of Hartford down?? Just the same way you officers milk calls while the citizens wait 2-3 hours for a response? Code 1 call or not. A call or C call every callers complaint is a priority and it should be addressed ASAP. God forbid we try to pull an officer from a call! 9 out of 10 times when that happens the officer has some smart ass remark to say over the primary channel but they are not labeled unprofessional? Come on! I support the dispatcher in this recording 100%. As I said before she's a damn good dispatcher that always has officer safety on her mind. I'm sure if you were ballsy enough to actually call a zip shed make sure to send you help and that's more important than monitoring car south. After all you wouldn't want her to miss anything on patrol 2 right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-3716269344965787072012-03-03T07:37:04.986-05:002012-03-03T07:37:04.986-05:00These issues raised here are management issues.
