Laack Of Appreciation

911 dispatcher loves helping people in trouble. She carefully explains to callers what to do.
But, she is careful to protect the rights of all concerned.
She detailed exactly how to capture criminal.
She was fired for reporting criminal during doughnut break.
Police smirk,
We showed her what has priority.
* Clermont, Fla., police 911 dispatcher Lorraine Stanton was fired in May as the result of bad performance reviews, not even counting an incident on her last weekend. A woman called to report a street gathering that included a man wanted by police, but according to the 911 tape, Stanton was not helpful: "Okay, that person would have to come to the police station, and we would have to check. When they come in, they'd have to bring ID." When the caller asked why a wanted man might voluntarily turn himself in, Stantonreplied, "Ma'am, that's the only way we can check." [WFTV-TV
