ok, I was asked to tell this story since it is an embarrassing story for me...lol
We had an attempt to locate on a green dirt bike out near one of our lakes. As usual for all my big flubs I had to say it on that stinky tri county radio again.
I said "dispatch to all unit we have an attempt to locate on a green dirt bag out of Deschutes county, Possibly in the Haystack area"
One of my favorite troopers said "could you repeat the description please and dispatchers favorite reply to mistakes "negative" though I do remember one night when it was really busy and I said "respond to ***** apartments as we have a guy raising hell in the parking lot" The same sweet trooper said "could you repeat?" and I said "we have a man raising hell in the parking lot" at which time my phone rang and my supervisor who should be sleeping at 2 in the morning said "don't you dare cuss on the radio again". I said "I didn't cuss", she said "raising HELL in the parking lot"...lol
I loved my supervisor, she always got up for a bathroom break when I screwed up. If she did not get up at the wrong time she would get a request from the ambulance, or fire dept. for a copy of the 911 tape for training and sure enough she would catch me then.....I think she has eyes in the back of her head and sleeps with some kind of alarm that goes off when we screw up....lol The biggest blessing of all is that she has a fantastic sense of humor since she started as a dispatcher too.....
