Guest Guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Just a note to say how professional, courteous, helpful, and friendly the Harrison police dispatchers are! Unlike another local police department where you are made to feel you are bothering them, and your calls are pretty much ignored. What a pleasant surprise it was to deal with Harrison! Thank you!

Thank you! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> At time you can get a good dispatcher who will promptly pass along the proper information. Other times you get one that gives out half the information that is necessary, and then sometimes the cops dont show up for a long period of time. All-in-all, you can't blame them TOO much, I know I would not want to go on some of the calls that they have to go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I'll second that. Had experience some time back when I noticed a car door wide open in Kmart parking lot from the timeI parked until done shopping and returned to my vehicle. The officer who answered treated me like a second class citizen and spoke down to me. I had asked the officer who was sent who that person was and apparently it was a lieutenant? I have to assume that because my last name may have appeared on caller id and is Spanish that he assumed i was also and treated me poorly. Last time I do good deed in Kearny. Terrible. Harrison on other hand when I had need to call once does have very well spoken patient dispatchers who seem to be very competent.

Good Job Cheif Kearns <{POST_SNAPBACK}> actually i have to agree, if you talk to the cops they give their dispatchers a bad wrap. but my experience has been the opposite i have gotten attentive professionals while some cops show up like they dont give a sh*t. kearny should take lessons from the harrison dispatchers.

Chief Kearns was a Lieutenant at the time and had nothing to do with their hiring or training. The training was done by Capt. Dan and Capt. Charlie and Lt. Jim was in charge of them. Give the credit where it should be. It was a good idea then and has proven to be cost efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are trained and are courteous. The Police Officers who they replaced are where they should be---on the streets to prevent crime and arrest violators of the law.

They will also save your a** when you need them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ditto, that's a fact, plenty of times i've called and gotten speedy results to my situation. in fact, i find them to be pleasant and professional. don't kid yourself their job must not be easy, dispatching medical and crime calls has to take a toll on them. my hat is off to them, i know i wouldn't want to deal with someone's death and or fire. it has to be tough. i say good job to them all. you serve the town well.
