No county has a monopoly on dumbass "assistance" operators. A buddy and I were driving down a road in a 55 mph zone when I passed a cow on the side of the road. Not behind a fence but on the shoulder. Any idea what hitting a cow at 55 will do for ya? So I called 911 on the celphone(not having the administrative number on speed dial) and informed the lady of it and suggested that someone come out to check on it before the cow and a driver both got road killed. Her only question? What color is the cow?


WTF! Who cares what color it is...will the cops not be able to recognize a cow if they don't know what color to look for? Or is that a race thing?

What? They didn't ask if the cow was armed?

Ever try to report anything using Paulding.gov? Total fail on the mail delivery system. Call the Ranger's office? Same deal as with animal control. 770-443-3010 is the number to call for non emergency anything. The Sheriff's office gets it done and they'll send a deputy out to about anything. If we ain't got anything else out here we got a pretty sound Sheriff's dept.

I have to say PC Sheriff's Office is pretty good. I've had to call that number and they always send a deputy out quickly. I've called Cobb 911 twice, both times while representing a government agency, both times involving a child in danger, both times police never came. If I ever have to call 911 in Cobb again, I'm going to state the emergency and tag it with '...and I think I saw a gun'.

I can't read all of the first post....I'll wait for the movie to find out the ending.

LOL . . . your expertise amazes me. You do realize that counties typically have a list of "owners" and that sometimes several different owners may live in the same area. <GASP> imagine that . . . Your 911 operator was not asking that question for her amusement, to give a lookout, or simply to have you post stupid comments. The first thing that will happen is a deputy/officer will be dispatched to the area. Most patrol cars aren't equipped with cattle herding equipment so the next thing will be to find the correct owner. When she looks up the road you're on and finds the list of owner(s) and starts calling to identify the correct one . . . oh guess what . . . one of the first question they are going to ask is, "What color is it?" Why?? Because Owner #1 (Billy) may only own Black Angus which are ..... BLACK. Owner #2 (John) may only own Jersey . . . which are BROWN. Owner #3 (Joe) may only own Holsteins . . . which are BLACK AND WHITE. Billy doesn't want Joe's cows and John doesn't want Billy's cows . . . . etc . . . come on now . . . not everyone is out to ask you stupid questions . . . think a little . . .



and for the OP . . . you do realize that "non-emergency 911" still goes to "911". There's not a special room for "not quite as important calls". I realize that Animal Control can be a pain or simply impossible to deal with. Trust me, I know from experience. With this in mind your frustration seems to be directed at the wrong people. Your 911 operator has the same phone number you do for Animal Control and unfortunately can't force anyone to answer or respond. What 911 can do is send you a 1) Ambulance, 2) Fire Truck, or 3) Law Enforcement. Not sure how any of those can help you out with a dog walking around. Start calling your county commissioners / county manager if you have problems with Animal Control, not 911.

Excellent response. I know around here that probably is the way calls happen.

 

[Patronus]

Yep. excellent response...sit around asking stupid questions while someone hits a cow. I do believe some government employees at every level are hired from the same pool as the fast food cashiers who can't make change.


Retarded is retarded no matter what the job title.

Good point . . . not sure how you're not understanding how the process works. Oh well . . .

. . . and for the record, I fully support "bashing". . . of any job and of any person. Everyone makes mistakes, some worse than others, . . . and some deserve to be called out on it. Just bash the right people for a legitimate reason . . .

Nooooo. There is no legitimate reason to critique law enforcement. Except of course if they finish too quick. Some just want to savor the flavor.
