To 194 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.519 this day, I remember the name of the lady who 195 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:40.200 dispatched that night, who heard me yell for help and 196 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.279 took that call and literally saved my life. Those are 197 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.039 the things that you get to do when you work 198 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.000 with us, And no two days are ever like, no 199 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.159 two calls are ever like. One day we were in 200 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.080 there and there were two call takers together. One's given 201 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.360 instructions to a lady who had found her husband Blue 202 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:02.039 in the living room floor, and right beside her is 203 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:05.919 a guy trying to soothe a family who's just found 204 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:10.600 their child shot. And they're right beside each other. And 205 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:14.480 those are the unfortunate times. But it also lets you 206 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:18.159 in the window. I believe that people. You know, if 207 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:20.080 you believe in God and you talk to God, then 208 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:25.000 he's your lifeline for public safety. And the citizens who 209 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.960 call these are their lifelines. They call there because they 210 00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.440 need help. They call on the radio because they need service, 211 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.200 They need assistance. We need to get somewhere, we need information. 212 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.000 No one else in the entire city of Louisville gets 213 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.440 to do these jobs. No one And to the JODI's 214 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:44.039 point about the salaries being great, you can work a 215 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.240 lot in those jobs, and you can make good money 216 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:48.200 in those jobs. 217 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.200 I rarely, I rarely talk serious when I'm with Kelly Jones. 218 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.279 He's the We're goofing on each other. A serious question. Though, 219 00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:57.799 you love your job, don't you? Because I've talked to 220 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.679 you so many times in your I said why I 221 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:02.440 just retire with you? 222 00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:04.720 Love your job, don't you? We both do. 223 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.600 And I don't care much for Jody. That's why I'm 224 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.399 addressing you know, but he's a lot younger than me. 225 00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:14.320 But fifty Saturday, I do. And here's the thing. I 226 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:16.519 was very fortunate. 227 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:21.039 My mother influenced my decision to join the police department 228 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:24.279 by being her guardian and her protector. And there's always 229 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.639 something noble about wanting to be the good guy that 230 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:32.559 showed up, and the career was phenomenal. Jody will tell 231 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.519 you the same thing about being in the fire service. 232 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.080 And I tell Jody now when he walks too fast 233 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.000 down for the street for me, I say, would just 234 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.799 slow down for a minute, And I say, you're paying 235 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.759 me for my mind, not my body the day, and 236 00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:48.279 so that's what I believe, and I have been. 237 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:48.919 Asked that question. 238 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:53.679 I was asked that question by a financial advisor, my 239 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.159 cousin Jim, who may be listening today, and he said, 240 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.279 why are you still working? Said because I love it 241 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.399 and I'm not tired. And the day that I don't 242 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.279 think that I could help the people that work with 243 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:08.120 Jody and I or help my citizens is the day 244 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:11.639 I'll walkome. Amen. I'm getting older. I'm ten about ten 245 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.080 years older than Jody. But the day I don't think 246 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:17.440 I can contribute as the day I'm gonna go. Amen. 247 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:19.240 Hey, you guys mentioned that you can come out of 248 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.039 high school. Let me throw some numbers out there. So 249 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.200 twenty seven dollars an hour right out of high school 250 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.120 is a fifty six, one hundred and sixty dollars job 251 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.480 over four years. If you don't get any raises, but 252 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.799 you will or overtime base, you would make two hundred 253 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.720 and twenty four thousand, six hundred and forty dollars, own 254 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:39.399 your own home, or get out of college four years 255 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.799 from now with one hundred thousand dollars a day. Go 256 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:43.200 what are the. 257 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:45.840 Training And like Kelly said, there's there's a you know, 258 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.519 there's an opportunity for overtime as well. So you know 259 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:50.519 what you said is the base is not what they're 260 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.360 gonna make. They're gonna make much more depending on how 261 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:53.200 much they want to work. 262 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:57.639 His story about he remembers the dispatcher in your comment 263 00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:01.320 that these are this is their worst day. That hits 264 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.320 me pretty hard because it is their work. Some days, 265 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.159 sometimes that call is the worst day of their life. 266 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:10.440 Their husband is dying, or their child has been shot 267 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:13.879 or whatever, or there's been an accident and people are 268 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.080 injured on the side of the Expressway. Whatever it is, 269 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:21.720 that's their worst day, and that's that could be your Tuesday. 270 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.039 Yeah, it could be anything. And even you know the 271 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.399 ones you talk about that you know that seemed goofy. 272 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.480 You know, a squirrel in somebody's house, that's still an 273 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.519 emergency to somebody. Yeah, so you know, they still don't 274 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.279 know who to call, so they call nine one one, 275 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.360 you know, and our people are there to take those calls. 276 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:38.440 I think it's fascinating all the way back to nineteen 277 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:42.759 eighty nine. Kelly Jones still remembers the dispatcher that actually 278 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.240 saved his life from this name, and it reminds me, 279 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:49.480 you know, because you never know who's going to save 280 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.480 your life, like Tony when you were choking on Italian 281 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.840 sausage and then that firefighter. 282 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:54.879 What was his name? 283 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.360 God? Yeah, what was that firefighter's name that he saved 284 00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:57.759 your life. 285 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:02.039 Let's talk about advance well, nom from dispatching. Where can 286 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:03.960 you go from dispatching? Like if you want to do 287 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.080 that for a couple of years, what where can I 288 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:07.799 can I be a cop from there? Or what? What 289 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.200 is what's the where's the advancement past the dispatcher? Or 290 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:12.679 do most people stay in dispatch. 291 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:14.360 You know a lot of people stay in dispatch. We 292 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:17.320 do have some people that that choose. You know, once 293 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:19.240 they get in there and they see other public safety 294 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:20.919 agencies and they get to talk to them on the 295 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.799 radio or they get to take calls for them, they 296 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:24.480 may want to pursue a career like that. They may 297 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.519 want to go to police fire ms. But you know, 298 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.200 we've got you can go from a call taker to 299 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:32.240 a dispatcher. Dispatchers can also work as call takers. But 300 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:36.480 we also have other opportunities training advancements. We've got some 301 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.840 computer aided dispatch technician advancements through the agency, So there 302 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.279 is some opportunities for advancement. 303 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.919 I love the inside lingo in certain careers and like 304 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.360 one is your aws. Like for example, we did a 305 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:49.840 show at the NFL combin one time, and the things 306 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.440 we heard during that show was get you some, get 307 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:52.679 you some. 308 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:54.240 And then we did a show with the army and 309 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:55.720 hurt oohrah a lot. 310 00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:58.720 I noticed when we were at the little Metro safety 311 00:13:58.759 --> 00:13:59.759 all say don't touch. 312 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.080 That a lot. Yeah that was just where did that 313 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:02.519 come from? 314 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:03.279 It was just us? 315 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:04.559 But I think. 316 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:06.639 They don't. 317 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.399 I think it would be So let's look at the 318 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:12.879 new generation, Like we grew up always outside. We were 319 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.600 always outside. There was nothing indoors for us. You only 320 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:19.399 watch television at night. You were just you were always outside. 321 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:22.440 But now if you look at people the way they 322 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.159 grow up, there are force they have four screens in 323 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:26.720 front of them, and they have a headset on because 324 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.519 they're playing video games or are there gamers or whatever. 325 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.559 This would be a perfect transition. If that is your 326 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.480 son or your daughter that's at home all the time. 327 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.639 And we know so many people that have daughters and 328 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.559 sons like that that if they're not into a lot 329 00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:43.080 of crowds and they don't like being outside with people, 330 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:44.759 and they want to be in a room where they're 331 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:47.559 making a difference and have a great job. Four screens 332 00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:49.600 are in front of you, you got the headset. 333 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.639 That I don't want to get people to get in 334 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:55.120 the weeds. 335 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:56.960 Just for a second on that, because you were talking 336 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.399 about when you all were taking calls way back when 337 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:01.000 or whatnot, you would have. 338 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:02.440 To imagine your mind what's going on. 339 00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:06.639 I guess there's instances now there's cameras all around the city. 340 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.879 I've been in that room. Yeah, I mean it's it's incredible. 341 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:12.960 You can see everywhere in the city. I imagine there's 342 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.360 a lot of times, probably more times than not, when 343 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:17.240 you're witnessing a crime and you're on the phone and 344 00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:18.600 you're watching what's going on. 345 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.399 Does that Does that happen quite a bit? 346 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:23.320 There is and there's also technology. You know, we're moving 347 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.480 towards technology where people can actually broadcast what's on their 348 00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:28.559 phone through the dispatch center to the people. 349 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:29.879 That they're responding. Wow, that's awesome. 350 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:32.039 You know, it's it's a technology that's you know, that's 351 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.480 it's in a couple of cities across the country. 352 00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:35.840 But you know, we're really looking at it hard. 353 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.120 All right, last question, last question, and again we're recruiting 354 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:42.759 here for dispatcher.
