Within the Trenches

podcastfeedLogoNewWithin the Trenches is based off my experience as a 9-1-1 dispatcher. I have been doing it for almost 13 years now and I must say that it is the most interesting job I have ever had. I started this segment to let people know what it’s like to be in my profession. The stories within this category involve all types of calls. This segment has gone from a written version to a new podcast with the same name. The show is meant to be informative, humorous, serious and all around eye opening to the world of 9-1-1 dispatch. The idea for this started a long time ago and the video that started it all can be seen here. The show can be heard on Spreaker and within this page is a player that will hold each episode for your convenience. I hope you enjoy this segment of Jabber Log and if you have any questions or want to appear on the show, email me at thejcast@thejabberlog.com.

Interesting podcast. I've dispatched for four years and agree with a lot of things that y'all talked about. Unfortunately in our dispatcher center we are the call taker the dispatcher and the person that CADs calls as well. Very stressful job but the satisfaction of helping people is totally worth it! Keep up the good work!
