Angels of the Airwaves

Off the Cuff Podcast | Episode #13

It can be a symphony of chaos punctuated by moments of life or death decision-making. At all hours of the day or night, they don the headset and are available to give instructions, send help, or simply be an ear to talk to. It's a challenge well-accepted by the talented Angels of the Airwaves at the Dickinson Police Department. Our very own Communications Specialist II Tenille Weyer describes the life of a dispatcher and how the intensity of the job and the knowledge of helping people every day is very real and very rewarding.
