A Message to Prospective 9-1-1 Dispatchers From a Former Gibson County Dispatcher
"Those who have worked in this career know that it never will never leave you. Those that currently work in it will someday know that it will never leave them. If you are still at the console please take care of yourselves both physically and mentally. Also, stay humble, kind, and compassionate to all those who will desperately need you to be at your best on every call. Always remember you are part of a TEAM! Always know inside that you are doing one of the most important and extremely difficult jobs there is and ever will be. Remember this, especially during the times you may feel unappreciated or unnoticed. You are neither of the above, you are invaluable. I want you all to know that I and countless others respect and even love you for what you do for us!" ~ Dave Brogan
