911 Dispatcher Misinforms Public About Stockertown Accident
About the only thing right in an Express Times story about a recent collision in Stockertown is that there was one. According to the article, an unidentified dispatch supervisor took it upon himself or herself to reveal there had been a six-car accident requiring two ambulances. In reality, it was a two-car accident, and five people were hospitalized after three ambulances responded.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Six cars seemed like four too many. Thanks for the update - didn't see one elsewhere, many hours later. You're eating the dailies lunch, Bernie. (cue insults here)
ReplyDeleteThe dispatcher moonlights as an accountant for Ed.
ReplyDeleteDyslexic Dorothy strikes again again.
ReplyDeleteWho is in charge over there now? Hopefully not the full figured guy who only hires "friends". That place would be a good place for county council to look into hiring practices.
ReplyDeleteIts very clear the people in charge suck at their jobs. And at 3:35am, I think your right about that guess, the place is a mess waiting to melt down.
ReplyDeleteBernie I think you should crawl up their butts and find out what realy goes on at that place.
ReplyDeleteWhy did the jumper story in Allentown disappear.
ReplyDeleteAll insider hires.
ReplyDeleteI thought that guy that looks like a mosquito , with the big nose ran that place, mosquito face, hes a real ass hole dam big bird looking goof, I think hes related to gonzo, haha (-:
ReplyDeleteCounty gets their original information from the public so who are the ass clowns now?
ReplyDeleteVery mature response. The 911 center at NC needs to be examined. I am hearing too many complaints from police officers.
ReplyDeleteyes they need to be looked at, the management does not do their jobs and its a free for all out there and its gonna get someone hurt
ReplyDeleteI listen to the scanner at home from time to time. Why do I hear dispatchers say my system went down and cannot give information? This seems like a major liability to the public and whos responsible to fix it. I also have friends that had been hung up on. What are my tax dollars going to, a group of people just taking my money. I feel that its time to go public and force that place to change or to be reassigned to an agency that can run it correctly.
ReplyDeleteAt 307am, im sure if theres any truth to whats been said Berine will get the facts out there and expose the cover ups.
ReplyDeletecover ups, some of those dispatchers should be ashamed on how poorly they do their jobs. but wait, there protected by the rat nosed jerkoff and no one oversees what happens there and that the problem, the state or feds should take over asap
