104 - Deputy Down: Deborah Green, Dispatcher

Hey Chaplain: The Police Wellness Podcast

Text a Message to the Show

Today we're talking to Deborah Green; she was a California dispatcher for almost 30 years and has a compelling story to tell. She dispatched her deputies to a middle of the night call at a marijuana grow in the forests of California where they were ambushed by drug cartel gunmen. The story itself is remarkable but I wanted you to hear this one because it's told from the point of view of the dispatcher. In part two of the interview we will look at the aftermath of the shooting and what the fallout was for everyone involved including the dispatchers.

Music is by Chris Haugen
