Tha flaws are in the 911 system itself -
Idahoemt - i know you didn't make the rules or create the system and this is certainly NOT aimed at you but -
all the call taker needed to dispatch the police right then was
- crime in progress
- location
and that's all.
The paperwork/fill-in-the-blanks time-wasting procedures can be caught up with and finished - LATER.
If I call with a gashed artery, and someone starts wanting to know my date of birth and my mothers second cousin's third wife's maiden name etc.- after all is said and done, someone ELSE is gonna bleed !!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is FAR too much time wasted on administrivia, that is NOT critical, need-to-know information when the clock is ticking.
