Re: Week five, September 24-30, 2013; Jonathan Ramos 5th.
Hello everyone,
a woman called 911 in need of help after her ex-boyfriend tried to knock down her door. The man later placed his car in front of her drive way, so she could not get out. The operator then said that they could not do anything about it, so they transferred her to another police department. The reason that they did not help is because of the budget cuts regarding public safety. In August of 2012, the woman called for help after her violent ex-boyfriend appeared at her front door. Hence, she was transferred to state police because the local sheriff’s department did not have full time staff, however she did not receive help from them either. Henceforth, her ex-boyfriend entered her home and sexually assaulted her. What is your perspective about the budget cost associated with the cuts within the criminal justice system which has resulted in less security measures etc.? What measure should be implemented to address sexual assaults? Please note the video link in pasted below for you to review at your leisure.
The url is noted below as it relates to the 911 video for you all to view prior to posting your perspective. http://foxnewsinsider.com/2013/05/30/oregon-woman-raped-after-911-call-goes-unanswered

Hello everyone,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to week five of the blog. I really appreciate the contribution each of you are making as it relates to your participation and feedback. You all are awesome!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!
I believe whether there is budget cuts or not that should not affect in the way the operator answered. Also there's other cops that can help especially when the caller said he had done this more than once. The caller didn't call for "advice" she called for help. Now there's another person added to the sexually assaulted list. The operator should be fired, maybe that'll help "the budget cuts." One less salary they have to pay, maybe now they can hire someone that can actually help and not give advice.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Amy. The budget cost should not have mattered. I also agree with her loosing her job because of what happen after the call ended.
DeleteI agree, the dispatcher should be fired. She did not do what she was placed there to do. I also agree they shoud have took these calls to a higher priority since it had happened more than once.
DeleteShe shouldn’t lose her job for this. It wasn’t her fault. She did everything she could in her power. It is the sheriff's fault for not having enough staff due to their budget cuts. If there was enough staff she would’ve been able to contact a dispatcher to go and help the lady.
DeleteI'm with Gary, the dispatcher did her job and helped as much as she could. Yes her advice wasn't all that great but what is she supposed to tell the woman when they both know that everything really might not turn out ok and there is nothing the dispatcher can do to help.
DeleteI totally agree with you, Amy. I also think the dispatcher should be fired for causing someone´s life to be in danger. She did not complete her job appropriately and clearly the woman did not call for advice yet for help. She should be replaced with someone who is serious about helping out a pedestrian.
DeleteI agree with you, I believe the way the operator answered was not necessary. They could have done something to get her some help. The operator should be replaced with someone who will actually do their job right.
DeleteGary, the dispatcher did not make any attempt what so ever to help. Listen to the call carefully. She clearly said right away she can't do anything about it. The dispatcher didn't even check if there was someone available in another unit or anything. So, I stick to what I stated before. She should be fired.
DeleteI agree with you Amy. The dispatcher didn't even try to help. Her job was to help not to turn people away without attempting it.
DeleteThe dispatcher should be fired.She did not do any thing to try and help out the woman.She put some ones life in danger.
DeleteI'm agreeing with you Amy, as well. The dispatchers should always try their best to help out the cilivilans no matter what the situation is. Due to the budget cuts, thats not the civilians fault; at least help out the people.
DeleteI agree with you. The dispatcher didn't do much and the lady certainly didn't want to be given advice in a time of help. She should be fired because it just seemed like she really didn't care, and she could have prevented a sexual assault. The government should fire all the dispatcher who are not willing to help instead of police officers and maybe that will help with the budget cuts.
DeleteI'm in total amazement. They way the dispatcher was talking to that poor women saying that they can't help her , because the budget cuts they have. Even threw all that she ended up getting assaulted and rapped by her ex boyfriend. I don't think that the people should suffer or put in danger , because the budget gets cut .
DeleteI agree. That poor woman called 911 hoping that someone would help her but instead got turned away. The dispatcher sounded like she didn't have a care in the world. Budget costs shouldn't matter when it comes to someone's safety.
DeleteIn my perspective the budget cut should not affect the way the woman should have been treated. For the action the responder took, it sounds like she did not know what she was doing and freelance her way through the call. Some of the measures that should be implemented that involves sexual assaults are the amount of the questions that should be given during interrogation and keeping an eye on the safety of caller.
ReplyDeleteI am one hundred percent on your side, the way that the woman handled the call was not professional in my perspective. If the matter had been taken in a more serious note most of this could have been prevented
DeleteI agree, I think the operator did hesitate because she couldn't help the victim physically, but she could have helped her mentally by giving her good advice. She could have provided her with some ways to fight back and avoid getting abused. Instead she just provided the victim with no sense of hope.
DeleteI agree with what you believe, Rolando. I also believe the dispatcher did not have a clue what she was doing and did not know how to help out the woman. Which is why she responded the way she did.
DeleteI agree. The budget cost shouldn't matter. The dispatcher should have done everything she could have but didn't. Why.? Because of the budget cost, she should be fired.
DeleteI agree with what you stated. I believe the dispatcher did not have an idea of what she was doing. She should have helped her atleast. But she didn't do anything. So she's not doing her job. She should be fired for not doinq what her job is.
DeleteI agree, budget cuts should not interfere with the safety of the people. If someone is in need of help then they should receive it. That is why they have dispatchers, but this one didn't seem to be doing her job very well. She really didn't seem to help the lady in any way. She needed to be helped since she was in a very serious situation, but she didn't get what she wanted.
DeleteI agree. The dispatcher sounded lazy, like she wasn't even concerned. Budget costs shouldn't have anything to do with people's safety.
DeleteToday, it is so hard to find ways to cut budgets without endangering the public. The criminal justice system is something that you do not want budget cuts. By doing so, there is not enough patrolling on the streets safe for the public. A good measure I would imply would be to increase taxes by a small percentage that wouldn't anger the public.
ReplyDeleteI strongly disagree with you Juan Carlos, We do not need to increase the taxes. I do believe there is enough police patrolling the streets.
DeleteI agree with what you are saying about that there isnt enough patrol men but no i strongly disagree with what your saying about taxes! like why would you do that? Having men in the streets and taxes are two totally diffrent subjects Juan.
DeleteI disagree with your opinion about increasing taxes. No matter by how little you increase it, the public will notice and they will still get angry. However, I do agree with that the criminal justice should not have budget cuts .
DeleteI strongly disagree with increasing the taxes. Even without the budget cuts the responders should be trained for everything.
DeleteBudget costs shouldn't even be a reason concerning someone's safety. The dispatcher should have at least attempted to try and help her. The dispatcher turned her away which resulted in the woman being sexually assaulted.
DeleteI disagree with you because people would not like it if they raise taxes. In my opinion they should decrease spending in other things and give a little bit more money to the criminal justice field.
DeleteI think that when it comes to the budget costs there should be no reason that it matters whether there is cuts or not. That’s because there is other type of department that could have helped, instead they pretty much ignored the call. Therefore, now there is someone that got affected by a person that sexually assaulted her. So what they should do is that they should have helped her by sending police officers from other agencies and making sure she was safe. The fact remains that we don’t have safety if there is no responders. Now when it comes to the second question the criminal justice system should do what they always do and make an example out of him, because then people are not going to do the same crime and they would stop committing sexually assaults. Therefore, they should give him a big sentence and may god help him for committing that crime.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. It is the the police department's responsiblity to protect the public. It is the despatcher responsiblity to give the police officer the information needed to help the woman. This despatcher did not do her job and should pay for what she did.
DeleteI believe that the dispatcher should be fired for not providing help to the victim. If the sheriff’s office didn’t have the necessary resources they could’ve contacted other surrounding agencies to help them. Budget cuts shouldn’t affect the criminal justice field the government should put more money towards the criminal justice field that way we would have more resources.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion on that a budget should not affect our security, and that the government should give more resources toward criminal justice. Reason being that crime is always increasing, and of course the amount of resources that the criminal justice system should have must increase also.
DeleteI don't agree that the operator should be fired because she was just doing her job. She did do her job poorly, by not supporting the victim or at least giving her good advice. Since obviously she gave terrible advice. I do agree on the fact that the operator could have done more to help though.
DeleteI don't agree that she should be fired. She did everything she could. It is not her fault that she wasn't able to get help. It is the sheriff’s office fault for having all those budget cuts. I agree that they should receive more funds so that there could be more civilian protection.
DeleteI agree with you Gary, the operator did everything that she could. Its not her fault that the Sheriffs Department were on budget cuts.i also believe that they should get funded more so they can help people and prevent things lie this from happening,
DeleteI strongly agree with your opinion. I believe she should have been fired. She could have helped her find a safe place or keep her calm. Since she didn't, this is why she got sexually assaulted.
DeleteI don't agree with your opinion, because once they start getting their budgets cut they stop doing what they have to do to protect the public. The operator should be fired because she is just not helping at all. But other than that they should still get paid the same with no budget cuts cause they protect us.
DeleteI agree with Jose . That the dispatcher should be fired she got that job to be able to help people and make sure that the police & ambulance can get to there location and help the people . The dispatcher couldn't even do her job, because of the budget cuts and look what happen to that poor women she got rapped by her ex boyfriend.
DeleteIn my perspective, the budget cost shouldn’t have stopped the woman from receiving some sort of help. I believe the operator was wrong and something could have been done from preventing the sexual assault. I believe police officers should have at least been sent down to check out the situation, that would have prevented the woman from getting hurt.
ReplyDeleteI really do agree with you Marisol, budget cost should't have stopped the women from receiving some sort of help. And yes the operator was in the wrong.
DeleteI agree, Marisol. I also believe she was wrong. I also agree that some type of help should have been sent.
DeleteI agree with you they should atleast send an officer down on the scene to see how the situation was. She might of been ok if someone was on the sence taking care of bussnies.
DeleteI really agree to what you are saying, because there is other cops that can help. Other type of agencies that are there for public safety.
DeleteI agree with you Marisol, if they would have sent an officer to check the situation the woman would not have been sexually assaulted. The operator was in the wrong for not sending someone.
DeleteI agree with you 100% percent! The police should have sent someone down to check out the situation.
DeleteI agree with you Marisol, budget cost should't have stopped the women from receiving help after so many calls she made to the police over and over for the same thing.
DeleteI Agree With You The Budget Don't Mean Nothing they Still Need To Do There Job. She Called For Help And Didn't Get Any
DeleteI also believe that police still should have got sent down to help her out.The lady is scared for life over a few dollars that is wrong and should never happen again.Money needs to be raised or programs cut because peoples saftey is first.
DeleteWow I’m totally disturbed by this news!!! A woman in need could not receive help by the police because of low budget cost. ‘’The operator then said that they could not do anything about it’’ this is a big shock. If I was this woman I would personally sue the both police department and also the operator for not helping me when it was an emergency. I believe the operator was wrong and something could have been done from preventing the sexual assault. I also believe police officers should have at least been sent down to check out the situation, with her and her ex-boyfriend if they had did their job then this would have prevented the woman from being a victim, regardless of budget cuts everyone deserves protection from violent acts & with his repeated attacks it should have been given more attention.
ReplyDeleteYes this situation could of been prevented and this poor woman wouldn't suffer the assault. I'm sure that other citizens are shocked and afraid that when they need police help no one will be there to assist. The police are sworn to protect the community no matter what.
DeleteThis is what shows that even tho we have criminal justice system we are not safe. The fact that they sent her to talk to two other agencies, and both could not help shows that we dont have public safety.
DeleteI agree the police officers are their to keep our community safe. If the operator would have just sent one officer it would have helped the woman.
DeleteSending a police officer to just check on the woman sounds like the right solution 911 should have done. We need to ensure that the public is safe whenever they ask for our help. Especially since the lady has similar call history, then you know she isn't lying.
DeleteI agree with you Crystal, this is very disturbing news to hear that a woman couldn’t receive help by her local police department. YES, in my opinion she should sue the dispatcher,the police department and the state. Then they can have something to cry about when they see their paychecks.
DeleteI Agree With You It Sad How She Didn't Get Help When She NeedEd It The Most . I Think She Was MadCause The Budget Cut And Didn't Want To Do Her job.
DeleteThese news makes me feel less secured, whether I'm at home or outside at any public areas. It is understandable that there has been budget cuts in law enforcement. But that does not mean that our security should drop in quality. If someone joins a company to do any sort of word, there is a high chance that there will be budget cuts. Although, this is true a worker must not reduce the amount of work that he or she puts in. Anyone should be safe at any time, and anywhere. A budget cut should not mean to put many lives in danger, of crimes like this. Budget does not mean the amount of security someone is going to get, no matter who it is.
ReplyDeleteThe government should not have budget cuts that deal with the citizen’s safety. It's outrageous how many deputies they had let go. The operator was just not helpful at all. She clearly states,” Well can you ask him to leave?" As if it were that easy to tell a criminal to go away. There should be no need for people to relocate to a different area, so that they can be attended to when needed. They should budget cut a different area instead of the police departments. If the victim would have received help, I personally think that the sexual assault could have been prevented. What if the ex-boyfriend would've attempted to kill the victim? No help would have arrived after the operator received the emergency call, and then what? How would she defend herself if he's strong enough to break down the door? Hence the ex-boyfriend was charged with kidnapping, assault, and sexual abuse.
ReplyDeleteI like your point of view and i also think the same.Why budget cut something that really matters to the public that is safety. Its just not ethical how the crime rate is increasing and the public defenses are decreasing.
DeleteThe lack of money does not excuse the fact that the police department endangered the woman's life. Instead of transferring the call, they should of done what was necessary to help her. Are the officers that in need of money that they would risk the peoples safety? All of them should be proud of being the gatekeepers of the community, and be honored to have the authority to provide security to us. This poor woman suffer thanks to the actions of this department they are also to blame in this situation maybe they should try and be more dedicated to serving and protecting the citizens.
ReplyDeleteI think it shouldnt have mattered what type of buget cuts they were applying in this situation. If someone's life seems like its in danger the operater should get the help she needs. And for not doing that she was sexually assaulted. I also think sexuall crimes should have harsher punishments. If laws were more strict on those acts people would probably think about what they do.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. If someone is in danger and they call for help they should be getting help. People can lose their lives if 911 dispatchers choose not to help. As the sexual assault punishment I strongly agree with you as well. People in our community deserve to feel safe.
DeleteI agree with you Jessie, the emergency caller should help the women with her need. That why we have dispatchers to help individual life that are in danger and protect our community. They just focus more on their budget then saving others, but what's important is that they could of help save the women and contact other agency to go to her house and stop the ex-boyfriend by harming her.
DeleteGreat response, I agree with you all the way. The budget cuts should not matter during any situation, even if the civilian is in danger. The sexual assault crimes should be more strict then what it is.
DeleteTo me this is very shocking, i have never herd of a dispatcher who doesnt help. This is very wrong, the dispatcher is there to help! She failed to do her job, weather there is staff out there to actually help the victim or not! The dispatcher is there to help, i think that he/she should be fired! On the other hand, i do not agree with all the budget cuts someones needs to put a stop to that. we need all the uniform man and women out there, nowadays is when we need them most with all the crime increase.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you Denise. The dispatcher failed to do her job correctly. She should have sent someone down to make sure everything was okay. They could have prevented the sexual assault.
Delete.In my opinion the 911 dispatcher should be fired. I don’t think that the budget cuts should interfere with the safety of our community. The fact that the incident could have been prevented, but wasn’t is sickening. Measures that should be implemented to address sexual assaults should be to put the suspects in prison for 15 years in prison without parole. Sexual assault offenders should pay for the crime that they have committed.
ReplyDeleteIt dosen't matter if the budget isn't that good. Their job is to protect and serve don't let the budget cuts get in your way and because that the woman was transferred to another police department the dispatcher and the department can be in trouble.
ReplyDeleteI agree, but they probably won't get in trouble because everyone has a boss and orders to follow. It's very sad that they tell you to call them when you need help but when you do they turn you away, it makes you wonder if anyone's going to be there when it really counts.
DeleteI strongly agree with your what you are saying. They will get in trouble because there was a woman on the line wh. Life was in dsnger.
DeleteThe 911 dispatcher should of thought on another way on how to help the women instead of saying she couldn’t do anything because of the budget cost. The budget cost didn't had nothing to do on this person's life. Sexual assaults like this case here needs to be taken serious because it is not right to not help the victim if you can get them help.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100%! Sexual Assault is a serious matter and it shouldn't be played with. state should have this as a warning.
DeleteI also agree, even if they couldn't help in the way they are expected to they could've came up with an alternative. the situation could've been a lot worse, possibly fatal. If that were to happen and everyone knew that it was the operators fault they would probably loose the communities trust and everyone would start taking matters into their own hands.
DeleteI thirdly agree with you Francisco. Sexual assault is a serious matter that in which needs to stopped. The budget cut didnt have to do with it. This woman really needed police help.
DeleteThe 911 dispatcher did everything she possibly could. It is not her fault that there was not enough staff in their sheriff's office. Even though there was not enough staff to go and help the lady, they should have at least tried their best to go and assist her instead of just telling her that there would be no help provided. The sheriff office should stop all these budgets cuts. Since they decided to do budget cuts, a woman got sexually assaulted. It is the sheriff's job to help citizens when they need it not when they have a chance to.
ReplyDeleteI totally disagree with you Gary. The sheriff's office should always have many people on duty because no telling what could happen towards anyone or them selves. They also didnt do there best to help the lady in her time of need and it just shows that the state is lacking communication with the socialty.
DeleteI disagree with you Gary, the dispatcher did not do everything she could do, I am sure there was either a cop on or off duty near by. But I do agree with you on cutting budgets the sheriffs office should not be cutting budgets, they where hired to protect and serve not decided whether or not they feel like sending an officer. In fact officers should not be focused on money if you pick being a sheriff or officer for your life time career it is not for the money but for the community. I understand everybody needs money now a days but if your in criminal justice its because you want to help you want to protect and serve YOUR COMMUNITY !
DeleteI disagree in your opinion Gary, The dispatcher didnt help at all with the woman. This lead to her getting sexually assaulted her.
DeleteI disagree as well the most she could of done was stay on the phone to comfort her. The things going on in her mind must have been horrible knowing he could do something which he did. The girl now has to live her life afraid of people and the police not coming to the rescue like they should.
DeleteThe 911 dispatcher didn't do a very good job about helping the lady. She could of prevented what could of happened and helped her in her time of need. They could of prevented her from being assaulted and being trapped by hr ex- boyfriend. And even if they did have budget cuts they should still help some one that is in need and that isn't safe in there environment. Not only did her ex-boyfriend try to get in the house to harm her but at the end of it all it ended up with a bad outcome because she got sexually asaulted and no one did anything to him but she will be scarred for her life. Those would be my opinons to why I believe that they didn't do everything that they could of done. And I hope something happens to him because he deserves it.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't think it was the 911 dispatchers fault. Because all she was trained to do was to answer emergency calls. She couldn't send anyone, because there was no one. And she herself could not go because she has not been trained for that kind of police work.
DeleteI agree with you Selena the dispatcher did not do everything to prevent the certain situation from happening. Even if there is not enough money for these officers to respond or just check up on a possible hurt person, I'm pretty sure there's an officer around the office or either the victims location to who is not focused on the pay roll. But also it is not in the dispatchers duty to act or respond to the crime, it is only to notify the officers to send a officer to check up on the victim. But your also right that criminal justice should never turn there back on the public and say I can't help you, they don't pay me enough.
DeleteI strongly agree with you selena, they shouldnt of denied the women assistence. Now the women is surely going to be scarred for life .The man should really be charged for his actions towards the women and tge dispatcher should be fired and maybe even arrested for the fact that she turned her back on the women who only hope to get help.
DeleteIn my opinion, there shouldn't be any budget cuts, because we're talking about the safety our community. Her ex shouldn't have been able to get in her house and sexually assault her. While the 911 operator was transferring her to different departments they should've sent someone. the situation could've been a lot worse. What if her ex would've raped her and murdered her because everyone was so caught up with budget cuts. They turned their backs on the safety of the citizens which should be their main focus. Now the victim has to live with the fact that she called for help twice and no one came.
ReplyDeleteActually the 911 dispatcher didn't transfer her to anyone. She simply told the women she had no one to send. Which resulted in the rape of the Oregon women. I would also like to point out that when you say that the women will have to "live with the fact that she called twice for help and no one came."Sounds like you are blameing her. Which i don't think it's correct, but what she will have to leave with is the traumatic sexual assult that was done to her.
DeleteI think the budget cut on peoples security is just awful. There shouldn't be a price on peoples safety and their lifes. The oregon women shouldn't have had to go through such a traumatic and violent moment. The peoples safety schould always go first. I mean isn't that what the goverment is for? To protect its people not to put them of as a second priority. As for sexual assults, I think this cases need to be taken more seriously. This kind of assults leave more than just physical and mental abuse. It leaves the victims scared for their rest of their lifes in multiple ways. Which is why we need to vigilant about this kind of things.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion the issue with budget cuts is very unethical and unprofessional. In this case it resulted in a woman being assaulted and sexually abused. Had there not been budget cuts to the police department, this could have been avoided and this particular woman wouldn't of had to suffer. I strongly believe that the dispatcher should not be held accountable due to the fact that she has no control over budget cuts and the number of officers on duty at that given time. I do recognize her for doing her job, she tried to keep the woman on the phone calm, and tried to figure out other ways in which she could safely avoid and or remove her self from that situation. Though at the end this was not helpful to the woman, she did what any other dispatcher could and would have done had they been in that situation.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the police department should be one of the last to get a budget cut, American's safety should be a number one priority, and there are many less important things that we could cut back on rather than the safety and well being of our citizens.
From my perspective one thing we all need in this world is criminal justice, therefore not here or anywhere should the budget be cut for Police officers or anything that has to do with criminal justice. Sure a world without rules or limits sounds great but that's for us students to think like that. What about those criminals that would have the free will to do just plain out anything ? Criminals without hesitation to do the inhuman. I think it is wrong to cut the budget for criminal justice, because one thing we need in this world is officers to protect and serve at all times any where, operators to report the crime to an officer, judges who have earned the right to judge the wrong. As a conclusion I dislike the fact that they are cutting the budget to criminal justice. Measures with sexual assault should be taken seriously there is no way to joke around with any crime that is possible operators and officers should have been ready.
ReplyDeleteI think there shouldn't be any budget cuts.The police department should have sent someone to her house right away but instead they didn't and he ex-boyfriend sexually assault her. The police are supposed to be the people that are their to protect us. Now the victim has to live her life knowing when she asked for help from the police nobody helped her.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you thath they should not have a budget cut any person that feels that their life is in danger should be helped specially by police departments.
DeleteI agree with you Elyza, the police are suppose to protect the people. But where were the police when she got sexually assualted by her ex-boyfriend? The operator should have sent someone down to check out the situation.
DeleteI agree because they should at least tried to do more than just hang up. What if she had been hurt other than just abused?
DeleteI agree there should not be any budget cuts, and the police should've help her because they are there to protect us.
DeleteI believe that the budget cut shouldn't have interfered with the caller(the woman). Plus there was no help sent due to the fact the woman was about to be sexually assaulted by a man. The police are here to help the victims that are in harm,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Javier Toledo. The budget shouldn't interfere with the caller. The dispatcher did not do anything to help the woman. There fore they should take responsibility of the incident.
DeleteNot a single police agency should have a budget cut so critical that they cannot help a citizen who is calling and asking for help. The police are here to help, not hurt, nor leave you there helplessly. If the agency was in need of saving money, they could do other things like save energy instead of not having enough staff because of pay. Cutting staff or giving them less hours because of budget is not an answer. As for measures implemented to address sexual assault, I believe that police should take calls like this one more seriously because they may result like this case.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't of had said it better myself! I completely agree with you Lourdes, there shouldn't be a persons call for help denied. The police is there to help not to leave you with out any help.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Lourdes, the police department should never denied help to a person just because of budget cuts. The police should really get rid of their staff if they are in critical conditions especially if their staff is going to be denying assistence do to their budget.
DeleteI agree with your comment. Police are here to protect people, not leave them alone while in their tragic event. Budget cuts should not be a reason why that women could not receive help.
DeleteI believe the budget cuts should not have interfered. I believe the woman had no clue on how to resolve or help out the woman which is why she decided to perform those actions. Not paying much importance to the situation caused the women to be sexually assaulted by her ex boyfriend. The police should have gone to the woman´s house in that instant to help and protect the woman from any harm. I also believe that if the woman would have performed better actions then better results would have resulted.
ReplyDeleteYes Jackie ,I totally agree with you the police should have gone to the woman's house in that instance to prevent any harm .
DeleteI totally agree with you Jackie ,If the woman would of sent someone right away for help, the woman wouldn't of went through what she had to.
DeleteYes I agree with you, Jackie. If the operator or 911 line would not have denied her call, she wouldn't even been going through this. Things would have been different.
DeleteJackie, I agree with you. The police should have gone to the women's house and helped her. Also the operator should have token better actions to this situation.
DeleteI don't think that the dispatcher was doing her job as she should have been , No police agency should have a budget cut because they should be their to help and protect our society. It could of been worster than him just sexually assaulting her .
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Angelica, because the dispatcher did not do his job. The police agency should not have a budget with saving a person's life. We trust the police to come and help us in a time of need. I am relief that a person's life was not taken way.
DeleteI agree with you Angelica, because with budget cuts it does not have nothing to do with helping our society. Like you said we trust the police and help us in a time of need, you are so right and doesn't the police say we help people no matter and they never stop trying.
DeleteI agree with you about the dispatcher not doing her job. Even though she knew there had been budget cuts she should have still notified police officers instead of saying that there was no way of the lady getting help.
DeleteThe dispatcher did not do her job correctly. Because of this the woman was sexually assaulted. This could have been prevented.
DeleteWow That's Crazy I Think They Should Of Help The Lady She Called For A Reason She Was In Need For Help.If They Didn't Have That Budget Cut They Could Of Help That Lady And None Of That Would Of Happen To Her And She Would Have Help.But That Crazy Just Cause A Budget Cut
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Chris, that is crazy only because of a simple economic problem they think its ok for them to ignore someone in need of help. Now that poor woman is going to have live with what happened to her. But regardless of the budget being cut they should have helped the woman either way. That is there job . to protect and prevent any harm that can happen to anyone. The operator is crazy for ignoring her cry for help.
DeleteChris you are absolutely right, not only did the budget cut stopped the women from receiving help but, also showed how much compassion the dispatcher had on her duty. Money is one thing but, help is another and the dispatcher has the enforcement to give that help she needed right away. The dispatcher should really reconsider her job if she's not willing to save a life.
DeleteIn my opinion this is really wrong. The women called 911 for help not to reject her call, but ok they passed the call to the police department and they didn't help either. The budget should of not stop the officers from 911.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, the budget doesnt matter. Its like people really wouldnt help someone else if they arnt getting paid for it. They could of changed and helped that womans life by going over there and arresting her ex boyfriend.
DeleteI agree that the budget doesn't matter and shouldn't stop the officers for helping the ones who call for help. The officers shouldn't expect to get paid with out doing work. They should want to help others that is there job. That is what they assigned themselves for when they first went after this job.
DeleteI Agee that was very wrong, it's like nobody even wanted to help her because they didn't even make an effort to try and help her. I just can not believe they did not help this poor woman at all due to budget cuts.
DeleteFirst of all I think that Henceforth should get at least 20 years in prison for what he did no doubt. Also I think its the Sheriffs departments fault as well for not helping the woman. If they would of helped her none of this would be happening to her and they could of made a huge difference in her life by helping her.
ReplyDeleteWho is Henceforth? And why are they getting 20 years? Nonetheless I do agree that if someone would of gone to the scene she wouldn't be in the position she is now?
DeleteHenceforth? I agree with you, the Sheriffs department did have a fault for not helping the woman. Therefore, the dispatcher should be punished in my opinion.
DeleteI agree with you Ivan, but who is henceforth? However your right they could have made a difference In her life if they hadn't ignored her cry for help. She is now living in fear , and its all the operators fault along with the sheriffs department because they both did nothing to prevent the harm that was done to her. They both should be punished , as for her ex-boyfriend he needs at least 5-8 years of prison with a slight chance of no parole.
DeleteIn my opinion, i think that it was wrong that the nobody wanted to help the Oregon woman because of budgets. She came to the police knowing she was going to get help, and they don't. 911 emergency calls, police and all those people, should help every one no matter how big or small the situation is. In my opinion it is wrong what they did.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, like you said 911 emergency calls should help ever one no matter how big or small the situation is. It does not matter about the budget because she was not asking for money.
DeleteYes, Cindy, I agree with you. 911 call should always help no matter what type of situation it is. It was very wrong of ignoring her call because of a budget. Her life was in danger, and she needed all the help she could've gotten.
DeleteI absolutely agree with you. We call 911 because we think they're going to be there every time we need them but I guess we're wrong. Who can we trust now? Who do we call when we're in danger?
DeleteI believe that operator did not do his/ her job right. In this case the budget doesn't matter, because a person's life is more important. Next time i think that the 911 emergency should do their job.I hope nobody goes thrue the same experience in their life time. I would give him 20-30 years in prison without parole.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Cindy, no matter what the dispatcher should have done her job. No matter what was cut or not in budget the poor Oregon women should have had help instead of getting assaulted.
DeleteIn my perspective for the budget in the criminal justice system has nothing to do with the importance of one individual's life in danger. In fact, 911 emergency should have their job no matter what. Not paying attention to the situation caused the women to be sexually assualted by her ex-boyfriend. I would give the men to 20 years in prison with parole. Next time 911 should be careful on what they are saying to an individual.
ReplyDeleteI think the worst thing that the operator was hang up. Even if there was no officers at the time if she could have stayed on the phone and the ex boyfriend would have been a little hesitant to do anything. Who knows things could of gotten worse and she could of been killed. I think the operator should have been fired.
ReplyDeleteIn my perspective, the budget cuts should not have anything to do with an emergency call! She was in danger and the fact that they did not help this poor women? I believe 911 should be doing their job regardless of the budget! Just by denying the women's call, it caused her to be sexually assaulted by her ex-boyfriend. What if this went differently and her ex-boyfriend did not decide to just sexually assult her but instead, murder her? It was wrong to not give her the help she needed. If they probably just answered her call and not reject her, she would not be going through this. Sadly, our emergency lines are not taking our emergencies seriously because by the looks of it, this women could have been dead and there would be no one to blame, but them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 911 should be doing their job regardless of the budgets. People rely on the 911 dispatcher to help them out and send police to resolve the conflict.
DeleteIn my perspective I would say that there shouldn't be a budget on the public safety is wrong and because we need police officers to help prevent crime. I believe that the operator and the state police should be guilty for not helping the women because even with a budget they should of send an officer for help it was not as if it was going to cause them more than for them just being at the police department doing anything. If an officer would of gone none of that would of happened. I would also say that the operator should be fired and the state police should be wised for next time. The man should get ten year without a chance of parole.
ReplyDeleteI agree someone should have went it wouldn't have cost them anything and it could have saved the victim from getting assaulted. Also she should be fired for not doing everything in her power to get someone there to save the victim.
DeleteI agree on what you said because if the operator would of sent an officer to the women's house things would of been different and the women wouldn't have been assaulted. I say that next time someone calls for help the operator should send some help before anything else happens.
ReplyDeleteMy standpoint for this case is that even though there is a budget in the criminal justice system , that should not matter. Everyone in the criminal justice system should carry on with protecting our community. They shouldn't expect to get something out of helping others, but the feeling they will get after preventing any harm from happening. I agree that the operator should so get fired, because of him/her the women who needed help got sexually assaulted. Things could of gone distinctively and the woman could have been killed. Regardless of the budget they are in operators should send help who knows what could happen in the future with someone else. There for our 911 calls should be taken seriously for our safety. For the ex-boyfriend he should get 5-8 years in prison with no chance of parole. We should feel safe in our community not be worried if police officers are going to help us or not because of a simple economic problem anyone goes through.
ReplyDeleteNice comment Erika, budget cuts shouldn't matter to a person who is suppose to help a life. A dispatcher shouldn't be even thinking about that type of stuff. She could of at least stayed on the line to help her in anyway,
DeleteDue to budget cut, we do not have a lot of security as much as we used to because of the Situation a woman was scared for her life, got beaten really bad, and got sexually assaulted that is not okay! It should not depend on our budgets to determine how many security should work. I heard the 911 call on the website about, I could not believe what I was hearing. The 911 Dispatcher sounded like she didn't even care at all she was Unprofessional if you ask me. She kept saying,' I don't have anyone to send out there, all I can do is stay on the phone with you if you would like'. To me the 911 dispatcher was just trying to say anything to get off of the phone. The ex-boyfriend should get 20-25 years in prison without parole.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% with Gabrielle, the dispatcher sounded like she was trying to say anything to get off the phone. This is ridiculous people shouldn't be putting money in front of peoples life.
DeleteI totally agree with you Gabbie the dispatcher sounded like she was not concerned at all , like she didn't want to hear what the lady was saying. I think that's crazy because what if it was her sister or mother or anybody she knows she would have probably feel the same way I do. Also in my opinion all of this probably could have been avoided if someone was sent out the first time the lady called.
DeleteNo one in the government has their mind strait or their priorities right. People should notice that individuals in the sports and entertainment industries get paid millions and yet in the criminal justice system we're having budget cuts. My thoughts on budget cuts are that they should not interfere with the safety of people in no way shape or form. There should never be a time of day where an individual has to face the fact that they are about to get hurt or killed because law enforcement cannot do the one thing it was brought up to do. Society needs officers to protect the wellbeing of their community so they have the ability to have comfort in their homes and be assured that they are safe the one place they go to be with their families.
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't have said it any better . It's a shame that other people such as athletics are getting paid way more than people who are saving us from harm . But this situations gives operators and police men a bad reputation .
DeleteIn my opinion, I think it shouldn't matter about the budget cuts. People call 911 hoping to get help but sadly, the woman from Oregon didn't. The dispatcher didn't even attempt to help her which is why the woman's ex boyfriend sexually assaulted her. The dispatcher, in my opinion should be fired.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you she should be fired at least she could have given her some mental help. Also you are right why should budget cuts matter its the police job to help people when they are needed.
DeleteI am very startled by this incident, I cannot believe that the women was denied help just because of budget cuts. I understand that that money is rough in all places, but I tge lady was denied assistence and she was sexually assaulted. The women called was in hope of help and the dispatcher techincally only gave the women her back. The dispatcher in my opinion should get fired and the man who assaulted the women should be charged more than the usual sentence for sexual assault. The police department should give the women some kind of recompense for the fact that they denied her assistance.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way . This women's life was at risk , and the reason why she was denied was due to money . Dispatcher should be fired
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI agree with you Flor, that money is rough in places and it dont give them the right to denied a woman that is crying for help. Yes I also agree that they should give her recompense.
DeleteSteven Reyes,#104
I agree with you the budget cut shouldnt have anything to do with the victim having her life in danger.The victim shouldn't have been denied many times. The police should of done their job right, not wrong.They should protect everyone to be safe from anything.
DeleteThis is disturbing to news . Some one was calling Brit help not advice . It shouldn't matter to budget cuts who gets help and who doesn't . What is the matter with them . The dispatcher didnt even try to help . The simple fact that she said they don't cover that area , what area doesn't have law enforcement ? Seriously . This situation could of turned out 10x worse then it did .
ReplyDeleteLooking at a males view WHAT IF this woman was my WIFE,my DAUGHTER,my MOTHER who was in need but was denied help by a women dispatcher all just because of budget cuts.A lady was denied assistance and she was sexually assaulted. This woman was in cry of help and the ex-boyfriend should be ashamed of his-self for acting like a little baby all because of a break-up. And for dispatcher in my opinion should get fired and the EX-BOYFRIEND who assaulted the women should be charged more than the usual sentence for sexual assault. The police department should give the women some kind of recompense for the fact that they denied her assistance.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with you Elishua, what if those women was our family members. The police department did fail this women. When she was in need of help I also agree the dispatcher should be fired but I also believe that the police department is more in the wrong.
DeleteSteven Reyes , #104
Good respond Elishua, I agree with you what happened if it was anyone relatives who needed their help. I also agree that the dispatcher should get fired because she wasn't doing her job and really didn't help her. If there were any situation in the agency of their budget they should still continue doing their job seriously and protect the community no matter what occurs.
DeleteElishua this is so correct! I agree with you 100%! It does not matter if there is budget cut's the safety of the people is far more important than any amount of money!!! The dispatcher should indeed get fired this whole incident is her fault the woman life was in her hand's and she failed to react. Instead of worring about budget cut's they need to be worrying about the lives of milions of people!
DeleteI completely agree with you. The budget cut has nothing to do with everyones safety. They should still be doing their job no matter what. a budget cut shouldnt have anything to do with any of this.
DeleteIndeed, you're completely correct. Safety should come first. This incident could've been prevented. She call 911 because she thought she would get help, she thought she was going to be safe. Who can she trust now? It's unbelievable.
DeleteI agree with you that safety should be first thats why ,they are police to protect.A budget cut shouldnt affect the victim from anything, The police should have not ignored the woman the way they did.
DeleteI agree that the lady was denied help during the incident.If I was the dispatcher I should gave more help to lady in danger for real.
DeleteI believe that the dispatcher should have been fired for not giving assistance to the girl. She got raped. The dispatcher should have atleast gave her some advice. When you frightened, you don't know what to do. She could have died if the ex boyfriend had worse intentions.
ReplyDeleteI somewhat agree with you,Jocelyn. But in a way I don't because the dispatcher did give her advise but in my personal view i believe she could have done something about it like perhaps get in a line with another town's sheriff or something ! Because the lady could have died but instead of doing so she just said what she said. In a way she did help somewhat but if it were me talking to an individual with such a problem I would have done something else. Also I do not believe she should be fired because it really was not her responsibility it was more towards the sheriffs again in my personal view.
DeleteI strongly disagree with you Julia although the dispatcher did give the lady advice , advice is not what she called for . The now victim felt that her life was in danger and that she was in need of help and to be denied of that was completely wrong. Working in the criminal justice field means your duty is to protect and serve and because the victim was denied help she was sexually assaulted which i feel could have totally been avoided if only the dispacther was doing there job and for this reason the dispatcher should be fired .
DeleteThe dispatcher and police departments should be sued and fired.Due to their negligence a woman was sexually assaulted.Budget cuts shouldn't be an excuse to not do your job.I understand they have less resources but,they should have found a way to work with what they had.Also budget cuts to the criminal justice system is ludicrous,how do you skimp on the nations security?Lets just hope more expenses aren't cut or else the criminals are going to have a field day.
ReplyDeleteI extremely agree with you. The safety and help for people and citizens should have nothing to do with a budget cut. And what you said about the criminald having a field day is so true. We for surely need to take care of this.
DeleteI agree with you that they should be sued and fired for the bad situation that happened.They should not let something like this happen again under their watch.
DeleteAs I look into this this case more, you can hear the woman being told that “I don’t have anybody to send out there” is very sad and telling her she has to wait till the morning to receive help from the shiffers office. Also being told “obviously if he comes inside the residence and assaults you, can you ask him to go away? Or do you know if he’s intoxicated or anything” said the 911 Dispatcher. Is very disappointing to me to hear a woman being told if he assaults you can you tell him to go away. It was too late to ask him to do that when he committed the crime. Intoxicated or not she should have been help.
ReplyDeleteSteven Reyes, #104
This tragic shouldn't have happened. Very disappointed due to the fact that the dispatcher denied help from the woman all because of budget cuts. The Government wastes so much money on useless stuff and as a result we get budget cuts that shouldn't happen. Either way money or no money the Government should be able to protect us regardless of that. I myself had seen the news and totally disagree due to the fact about the statement that we should'nt rely on the government to always be there and to be able to provide our own protection as well. Well you see if we would have guns to be able to "protect" ourselfs from this tragedy wether there will be more death rates or most likely the man would have gotten the gun and raped her either way. We should all be able to feel safe in our community and expect help when needed. I personally would give the man 10-15 years in prison with no chance of parole.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you, Angelica! This should not have happend, nor should it happen again. The Goverment talks about how they take our lives very seriously and today we've seen personally how much they do actually care for our well being.... It's so sad to hear that a woman was denied help. It leads us to think what would have happend if the ex-boyfriend had a gun what would have happend then?
DeleteI personally after watching the video got really upset simply because authorities didn’t really do anything to help an individual with a major problem. I thought the "Criminal Justice" branch was there to protect the community and come when help needed as their duty. I also believe whether or not the budget was a major problem the operator should have done something to help the women and not just give her advice. Anyone can do that! The lady turned the police for help and all she got was rejection. I'm really upset with what I saw in this particular case and I believe there should be something done to help the budget of authority’s or in other words compromise with the law. Sexual assault should be measured severely because it's something to a human being with out his or hers permission.
ReplyDeleteBudget cuts should not be the reason why the department is not saving lives! This whole incident could have been prevented if the telecommunicator did her job properly, instead of ignoring the problem. The victim looked to the department for help and recieved nothing but getting sexually assaulted. Just telling the ex-boyfriend to leave is not going to solve anything, he's just going to keep coming back. The victim should not only have a restraining order for her ex-boyfriend she should also make it her mission to make sure the telecommunicator does indeed get fired. In my perspective I believe that all officer's should be patroling ALL neighborhood's weither there is budget cut's or not. These officer's went into this field to help people not to worry about the money that it comes with. It is so sad to hear that this is occuring.
ReplyDeleteThe budget cuts should not have anything to do with the safety of a citizen in need for help. The citizens of the U.S should be protected when needed.Due to this a woman got sexually assaulted by her ex boyfriend when that could have been changed if help would of been sent. How are people going to be able to rely on the authorities for help when they don't get No help when needed? The police is out there to serve and protect budget cuts should not be the reason some one got sexually assaulted. I honestly don't know how the government could have possibly made a budget cut on something that the citizens need.
ReplyDeleteIn my perspective about the budget cost associated with the cuts within the criminal justice has nothing to do with the one individual whose life is in danger. In this case, I believe that the dispatcher should have helped the women in need then giving her some advice. I mean they focus more on their budget cuts then doing their job. The criminal justices are here to protect our community and save other life. They should of being taking things seriously eventhough the police officers are having low cut budget, they should considered more on the civilians system and try contact other agencies to send police officer to help save the women life.
ReplyDeleteThe criminal justice system should not have budget cuts because the public needs safety on the streets.The girl was in need of help but they excuses to not do so.Sexual assault should be charged to the ex-boyfriend for breaking into the house of girl.The dispatcher did not do anything to help girl in this situation.The police should take a view for public safety on this case of assault .
ReplyDeleteThis is an outrage. No matter the cause, budget or not people are entitled to have help come their way when it is needed. Especially in this scenario. She could have died from a deputy's ignorance and lack of service. She totally lost all faith in the criminal justice system and it's all due to someone's carelessness. I would support the fact of her suing the local cops.
ReplyDelete-Alex M.
That's just crazy. No matter what, people are always going to need help wether the budget is cut or not. I believe that the dispatcher should have helped the woman I.stead of having to transfer her to a police department. maybe, if the dispatcher wasnt to transfer her, everything that happened at the time probably wouldn't have happened. The susoect which is the ex-boyfriend should be charged for sure! He has to be charged with something. But I seriously think that the budget cut shouldnt have to do with anybodys saftey.
ReplyDeleteThere should not be budget cuts in police departments. Anything that can affect public safety should not be done. Because of budget cuts, the victim did not receive any type of help. Which that led to her getting sexually assaulted. Calls like this one should be taken more seriously by the dispatchers and police.
ReplyDeleteThe budget cut situation shouldn't determine if you can or cannot help someone who needs you at the moment. That's just crazy. She could've died, there should not be any type of reason that should keep you from sending help to someone. This incident could've been prevented. Us, citizens call 911 for help. We know they'll be there whenever we need them, but now can we even count on them to be there? Can we trust them?
ReplyDeleteI agree very much with you Ana. This incident makes one consider a lot of things. I will probably start looking in to what are the requirements to get a concealed hand gun license so that I can exercise my second amendment.
DeleteI think even though there are budget cuts there should be officers to help the public in times of needs. The operator should be fired because the woman called for help not to get advice on her situation. sometimes the operator needs to put herself in other peoples shoes so she can understand the density of the situation. There should not be budget cuts because that makes the criminal justice system not wanting to do their job right and not letting them protect the public.
ReplyDeleteI believe that budget cuts should not affect anything having to do with public safety let alone the way the dispatcher responded to the call. It was totally unprofessional and very inconsiderate. To agree with what others have been saying the victim made the call because she felt that her life was in danger and to be told that she couldn't be helped as a result of budget cuts makes me feel like someones salary is more important than the safety of the public. I also believe that the dispatched should be fired for not doing her job. Turning the lady away without even trying to help resulted in the lady becoming a victim of a sexual assault. The way the call was answered was completely wrong maybe if the dispatcher would have done their job correctly then the whole situation could have been avoided.
ReplyDeleteI believe the budget cuts should not affect in the way that the operator answered the lady.Also, the victim had made many calls for help and the police didnt do nothing but ignored her, she wasent calling for advice she knew she was in danger.The police should of have gone to the woman's house quickly and should of have protected her.They should of done their job correctly and not wrong.
ReplyDeleteIt is really disappointing to me to hear the 911 call. The dispatchers tone of voice express a feeling of laziness. She did not sound professional in the way she replied. I understand that budgets cuts were made but at least the dispatcher could of gave instructions on how to defend her self incase of a sexual assault from her ex boyfriend. Being a dispatcher is a very difficult job to deal with. If I was the girl I would sue the department for not handling a call professionally and not bringing help to the scene. But she should diffidently get fired, and for the ex boyfriend he should go to jail for 1 year and community service.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Christian. The dispatcher's performance is miserable, it no where compares to that of the dispatchers we heard in class that helped the drowning boy and the baby that had stopped breathing.
DeleteThe government should not have budget cuts within the criminal justice system. They should find other ways to cut down and not cut down the police departments. That just puts the public’s safety at a greater risk. If someone is in danger and calls for help, then they should receive the help instead of being ignored. Her ex-boyfriend entered her home and sexually assaulted her and it was not the first that that it has happened. The dispatcher should have done something else instead of just trying to give her advice. The dispatcher should have just told the lady that there was not any help at the beginning or they could have sent someone when they transferred her call. She obviously did not do a good job. She could have prevented a sexual assault. It just puts crime at a higher risk in the communities.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Yazmin. People should not cut down on the criminal justice field. They should always be there for the citizens in time of need. Also they put other people at a greater risk in not helping them.
DeletePeople are always going to need help wether the budget is cut or not. The dispatcher should of helped the woman instead of transferring her to a police department. Probably nothing would of happened if the dispatcher wouldn't had transfer her and actually help the woman. The suspect need to be charged, which is the ex boyfriend. The dispatcher should get fired for not handling the call professionally.
ReplyDeleteIn my perspective, I highly believe in helping out to those who are in need of help. So with that being said, a dispatcher should always do what they're suppose to do no matter what the situation is. The woman was sexually assaulted by her ex-boyfriend just because the dispatcher didn't do their best to help. If these dispatchers aren't doing their job right, who are we as citizens, suppose to do when we need help? Budget cuts should not be happening in the criminal justice field because we as citizens, go to these dispatchers from time to time. In my closure, this particular dispatcher should be fired and the official 911 dispatcher building should be sued, due to the conflict that happened to the woman.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you totally. The dispatcher should always be there for the citizens in the time of need. Now, they could of totally stopped her ex boyfriend from causing any damage or any further problems. We the citizens also have to speak up for each other and help one another.
DeleteIt makes me furious that just because of budget cuts that a women was assaulted. The dispatcher could have at least done something rather than transferring her to someone else. We should find budget cuts from some other source than the police department because if we don't we are putting ourselves at risk.
ReplyDeleteAfter hearing this call I was really disappointed in that county's dispatcher. Even with all the budget cuts the dispatcher could of done more than what she did to help. Her professionalism is no near the dispatcher's we heard about in class. Dispatcher's duty is no just to send help, Their priority is the caller's well being. If I were the dispatcher I would have remained on the line with the caller until I was sure she was going to be okay. I would have told her to blockade her door with some furniture, I would have told her to defend her self from him if he got in. I would have given her better advice than what that dispatcher have the caller. I would have told her to use any kind of weapon she had a knife anything, that she has right to defend herself. The people voted not to raise taxes, and this unpleasant situation was the effect of that. Maybe the town should reconsider their vote.
ReplyDeleteI agree that budget cuts shouldn't interfere with someones safety,and that the dispatchers primary job should be the safety of our citizens .I believe that she wouldn't have been sexually assaulted had she had some type of help .
DeleteMiguel you would of been a better dispatcher. Not only are you showing the procedures you would of done but, the women was your priority through out your whole procedures. And I agree with you one the part where the town should reconsider, because no one wants this to happen to them.
DeleteAfter everything I read it bothers me to know that the state has cut back on budgets in the criminal justice field. They make the citizens feel like they aren't that important and wonder why we have so many assaults in America. In a way the dispatcher is at fault because of so much lack of communication from the department to the citizens. We the people would like to know that they will be there for us in our time of need and won't lack off on there job. They also need to be aware of so many people that are out there that can cause damage to others but that the department will be aware of. That would be my opinion in to why people should really think carefully about what the state is doing to the citizens.

ReplyDeleteThe operator should have at least given the caller advice to help her with the situation. The dispatcher even sounded like she did not care for the woman's safety. Unfortunately,the woman received no help when she needed it the most. The budget cuts have not helped reduce the crime and are impeding from performing their rightful job. People should even be aware of how serious sexual assault impacts a person. Hence more information about sexual assault should be given out and spending on dispatch centers can decrease the crime.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the operator could have done more to help in this situation,and the fact that she sounded like she didn't want to help made me frustrated .The Dispatchers are trained to help individuals in these types of predicaments .So i believe the operator could have assisted her more in some type of way.
DeleteI believe that budget cuts should not be the reason why our safety is put into Jeopardy. The dispatchers that Mrs.Harrell showed us in class were supposed to remain calm,and show some empathy .None of this was done by the dispatcher instead she transferred the call due to budget cuts .Which i believe was the result of her being sexually assaulted .Regardless of budget cuts or not i believe someone could have helped her. We as citizens rely on the criminal justice system to protect us not work against us.If not then the individuals will start taking matters into their own hands.
ReplyDeleteWhen calling 911 we as a community really rely on help to arrive right away. After reading the blog above all I can pretty much do is shack my head at the lack of potential the dispatcher gave to help out this women who was in need of help. Whether there is a huge gap of budget cuts or not, when the women dialed 911 the first thing that ran through her mind was assurance. The dispatcher not only did she put this women's life on the line but. proved one simple thing can stop a whole department from saving one life because she made a wrong call. The dispatcher could of atleast stayed and waited until the women would remain safe. There could of been other major calls that could of been called to make sure the dispatcher didn't let the women down in any unsafety way. The way I see it is there the women must of lived a bit far or she couldn't make the call to the nearest policeman on duty, if the dispatcher would've made another professional call there would of been a better side to this 911 call. The station, community, and town should find other ways to abridge these budget cuts so their community can be safe once again.
ReplyDeleteThe budget cuts should not have anything to do with the safety of a citizen in need for help.In this case, I believe that the dispatcher should have helped the women in need then giving her some advice. The dispatcher did not do anything to help girl in this situation. I believe that the dispatcher should be fired for not providing help to the victim. In my opinion she should sue the dispatcher, the police department and the state.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that there are budget cuts says a lot. The people need someone to call that can help them not give advice. The lady should have sent help to the woman not tell her there is nothing she can do for her. Which ended up in not a good ending for the 9-1-1 call.
ReplyDeleteI don't think when it comes to the public's safety budget cuts shouldn't exist
I believe that the budget cuts are crazy look what it did to this inocent lady who got assaulted.There should be no reason that the cuts should effect the amount of police patrols out on the streets.This kind of non sense does not need to happen any more.The state has to do somthing to get more money for the saftey of people this crime should have never happed.The operator should have done somthing else then just transfer the call to another office.
