Work has been very tiring lately.. I'm a Radio Operator in the police force. Well this is what I do for the whole day.. TALK.. This is what happens everyday. A call I received yesterday.

(Phone ringing)

Me: Morning Ops Room

Female voice:(Sounding distressed) HELLO! IS THIS THE POLICE?! I NEED HELP NOW! MY BOYFRIEND IS ABUSING ME!

Me: Ok m'dam, Can i have ur location and may i know what's happening?

female voice: (starting to sound very angry) Why u ask me so many questions!?! CAN YOU JUST COME NOW?!?! I'M IN DANGER! WHAT KIND OF POLICE ARE YOU?!

Me: M'dam Can u pls calm down. if u don give me ur address and let me know what's happenening? i cant send a car to ur aid. (duh.)

Female voice: (starts to shout as if the phone is 10m away) I STAY IN *BLAH BLAH BLAH* MY BOYFRIEND IS OUTSIDE MY HSE. HE LOOKS LIKE HE WANTS TO BEAT ME UP! CAN U PLS COME NOW!?

Me: ok m'dam i'll send a car down asap. may i now have ur name and contact number?

female voice: Why must i give u? u want to date me ah?! sorry ah.. i don date loser policemen who cant even send a simple police car to aid me..

Me: (keeping my composure) m'dam i need ur contact and name so i can tell my car how to contact u upon arrival. (no wonder ur boyfriend wants to whack u)

female voice: (says her name and contact in a very unfriendly tone)

Me: ok thank you m'dam. i'll despatch the car asap.

(she just hangs up without even saying thank you)

After this i'll have to call the car thru the radio and inform them.

Me: Golf calling fiver three. fiver romeo three over.

5R3: Fiver three send over.

Me: Fiver three can u proceed to (address). Text msg is my boyfriend is abusing me can u come? over.

5R3: Roger. can u route msg to my MDT(mobile data terminal)?

Me: Roger. be advised. Caller is angry over.

5R3: Roger.

Me: Fiver three your ten two time(proceeding time) is zero niner one fiver. over.

5R3: Roger.

imagine doing this more than 30 times in 12 hrs. You'll go mad man.. and at the same time have to type in all the stuff. and follow up afterwards. abt 10 mins later.

(10 mins later)

5R3: fiver three golf ten seven(i've arrived)

Me: time check is zero niner two six. over.

5R3: Roger.

(20 mins later) while waiting, other calls will come in. you learn how to multi task here man. trust me.

5R3: fiver three calling golf over.

Me: fiver three send over.

5R3: inform facts over.

Me: Roger. call my extension at one zero over.

5R3: Roger.

(calls my phone and inform facts abt what happened)

Me: Fiver three your ten three time will be one zero two fiver over.

5R3: Roger.

After which the case is closed. its 1 down 29 more to go. and its on a typical weekday. weekends are much worse and public holidays too.

so how many of u want to sign on as a police officer?
