  5. awe common, That post also said Danbury was the last place to use A firefighter Or cop to dispatch In the whole country too,.... You cannot believe A word the media says as it is..., MUCH less NOW they outight Lie about stuff You cant blame anyone except the "journalist" for the "big words" they use or use in place of the ones' they dont understand..... I am not sure about getting a ticket for dispatching too fast, I do know Its a good idea to have a cuff key when The cops decide to cuff you to the console...
  6. The Civilian Public Safety Dispatchers are the Norm through out the entire state, Danbury is one of 2 Maybe 3 Juristictions who have yet to civilianize communications 100%... "Who are your Qualified candidates?" Hahaha Are YOU serious? What qualifications do you think you need? and How does one get qualified? You make it sound Like Patton needs to come back from the dead, To approve your qualifications... Its answering a freakin phone.... 9-1-1 whats the emergency ? really isnt that big a deal training and certification to the standards set forth by the State are the qualifications... and to prove it.... You can't get qualified unless YOUR agency sends YOU and You cant get an Agency unless Your qualified HAHAHAHA

  11. A 20-year-old American exchange student in Germany had to be rescued after he was trapped in a six-foot vagina statue, NBC News reported. Twenty-two rescue workers were called up for the “extraordinary rescue mission.” The student became stuck while posing for a photo with the female genitalia replica in the southern city of Tuebingen. "We were able to pull the victim out with our bare hands after about 30 minutes," a local fire department squad leader told NBC News. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/264279461.html?_osource=SocialFlowFB_NYBrand http://www.alan.com/2014/06/23/firefighters-rescue-student-stuck-in-vagina-sculpture/

  19. My intent By posting this was to show you something That You may honestly Come in contact with in the future as 1st responders, while the intent is singular behind it, how much future potential of a hostage situation inside a room like this, use of the device allows ALOT of flex ability In the door, Maybe too much To force with Our compliment of typical tools The Irons Might work well with a few 4x4's to crib and Tighten up a Bite on the door, even the Jaws Might need to be cribbed to get a bite... posting this wasnt a political statement, These teachers see this as a Potential Life safety device Just like your Pass Device is Yours, on one hand this Seems Like it Could help, as long as you realize while some wont defeat the device, it May be a LOT easier to defeat then they believe...Depending on various factors ... Thats all
