[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long were you on hold? I had to call Sunday evening and it took 5 min before I had a live person on the phone. This was in DC[/quote] Seriously? Unless a plane had just crashed on the mall I find this hard to believe ( 911 dispatcher for another jurisdiction that’s not DC) [/quote] You should look up Statter911 on X. DC's 911 has serious understaffing problems, and other problems with the folks who do work there. I don't doubt this for a second. [/quote] DC is notorious. I lived in DC when a little girl choked to death due to an inept 911 response. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/choking-toddler-dies-after-dc-fails-to-dispatch-closest-paramedic-to-house/2015/03/19/1a5c8cce-ce5b-11e4-8a46-b1dc9be5a8ff_story.html[/quote] We felt a little unsure about leaving DC for the suburbs, but these kinds of public safety news stories helped convince us to leave.
