<quoted text>Most people I know DO NOT have the local police dept. phone number or central dispatch phone numbers programmed into their phones. I on the other hand have the central dispatch number programmed into my phone just in case there is ever a problem. However, were I to call Central Dispatch or the local police dept. and my information was transferred to the WRONG agency and I had to make multiple phone calls until it was finally transferred to the right place, I may have died or someone else may have died due to the waiting game! I understand the police have to wait for backup, which usually doesn't take much longer than when the first officer arrives on the scene. Point being, the dispatch officer needs to be better trained in how to handle transferring the calls to the correct department. If this had been a child whose throat had been cut or badly injured people would be IRATE that it took so long for police to arrive. THAT was my whole point! I am sure there are more people who agree besides me and just the niece that haven't spoke up (probably afraid of someone jumping all over them if they have a diff. opinion!). Anyhow, everyone has their own opinion, this is mine, and I don't think it's right to call people names or tell them to shut up because you don't agree with their opinion! Be respectful of others' opinions, even if you don't agree!
