Gross Incompetence

  • After a second troubling incident, the Daley administration on Tuesday reassigned the dispatcher responsible for the 911 dispatch delay that left an off-duty police officer to fend for himself while being shot at by a carful of alleged gang members.

    The reassignment followed a 911 call last weekend allegedly mishandled by the same dispatcher -- this time about an Illinois State Police officer conducting a foot chase through the Dan Ryan Woods, sources said.

Reading the full story, it seems the dispatcher may have gotten a wave-off from State Police dispatchers, and the basis for the discipline is a misfiling of the ticket as "Info for the Police" rather than a higher priority 1A or "zero" job.

Maybe someone from OEMC can tell us if this is a matter for intensive retraining or a firing offense. Of course, sleeping at the console and leaving the off-duty guy in 010 hanging should trump everything else and this jackass should be an unemployment statistic already. But he's heavy so who knows?
