Hello guys...I am just wondering if you give "breaks" to dispatchers. I ran into a situation and I was just curious as to what you would do. I know ultimately it is my decision, just wondering if I made the right decision.

Thanks Mike

I think it depends what type of "break" you gave them.

I stopped the same dispatcher from another agency speeding through the same zone three times in a two week period. I sat in the same spot every night, and she always came through on her way to work. When I stopped her, she seemed annoyed that I was wasting her time stopping her. I gave her two breaks, and then decided that she was giving me the big F-U. So I gigged her the last time, and never saw her again.

I think you did right thing. We should be held at a higher standard because we represent the department on and off duty. Just my take on things.

Sounds right to me

You would say that

Dispatchers shouldn't really need breaks. If by "break" you mean taking a couple of minutes in the bathroom or a few minutes for a cigarette, some officers are willing to give you a couple minutes. Especially if you have a shift commander, most of the time they are willing to relieve you for a few minutes.

What was your situation that you ran into? Anything we can relate to?
