We have a policy that we respond to all calls. It's good PR and we do try to help.
Believe me, I have see more than my share of stupidity. I was called once years ago on a bed ridden person. Her husband had left for work. We had to "jiggle" the handle of the toilet....no joke.
I got sent on a call for some yo yo that left her garage door open on a very cold night. Her hot water heater line froze and burst. She actually called 911.
We have a four year old or so consolidated dispatch center now. Nothing they do would surprise me. 911 calls for drunk drivers...forget it. The information is most often 10 minutes old when we get it. No exaggeration. I won't even respond to them as a broadcast any longer. The great money saving consolidated dispatch center that wasn't. They don't have any money now and we are about to get a new tax levied to pay for the jacked up worthless place. If you live in Hendricks County your new tax is coming soon.
