That dispatcher


was as essential as any of them. I wonder, did the other officers honour her as part of the team or just see her as glorifed receptionist?

Are you a dispatcher?

Just curious because I am.
And I seem to recall some scene somewhere that gave some lines about dispatch importance and relying on them. Maybe it was in Dragnet. But considering all the radio traffic and dispatch scenes in Jack Webb Productions He KNEW.

Ephemeron.

Oh goodness I wouldn't last 10 minutes in a job like that! That's why my hat is off to anyone who can do it.

She was a dispatcher in real life

I met the Adam-12 dispatcher about 30 years ago while I was applying for a dispatcher for the LAPD. She seemed very nice.

Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night.
