BALTIMORE -- After 10 years on the job at Anne Arundel County's 911 call center, Louis Gerber's alleged two-minute snooze may get him a written reprimand or, even, fired.
On June 29, Patricia Berg phoned Anne Arundel County Police to report a possible prowler, but the Glen Burnie resident apparently had to wait precisely 1 minute and 42 seconds for a response.
The reason: Gerber allegedly fell asleep.
After a few moments of back and forth talk, Gerber didn't answer. According to the tape recording, his sleep was broken only when Berg asked him if help was on the way.
\"Hello?\" Berg said several times.
\"Hello...yes?\" Gerber answered.
\"I was just wondering if you were still there?\" Berg asked.
\"What's the problem?\" Gerber asked.
\"I've already told you,\" Berg said. \"You don't remember me telling you what was wrong?\"
And, apparently, this sort of thing occurs far more frequently than is let on:

- In August 1992, a woman in Lexington, Massachusetts, stabbed by an attacker, gasped an address to the town’s 911 dispatcher approximately five-thirty A.M. The dispatcher couldn't understand it and claims that he reported the call to his supervisor, who dismissed it as a prank. (The supervisor denies being told of the call). A dispatcher on the next shift played back the tape later that morning, understood the address and sent police. By the time the police got there, the woman had died.
- In May 1994, Chicago's Better Government Association, together with a local TV investigative team, went undercover with a hidden camera and caught large numbers of 911 dispatchers asleep on the job.
- In November 1994, ten calls to 911 from panicked Philadelphia residents reported a teenager being beaten by a gang with baseball bats. The callers were met with argumentative and rude response from dispatchers. Forty minutes passed before help was sent. The teenager was beaten to death.

don't forget about the 4 teens who drowned off the coast of city island last year (or was it the year before) because the cell phone cut out as one of them was saying they were "off the coast of city I..."
didn't the dispatcher dismiss the call & no one went looking for the 4 boys until hours later.

Hit me
Going, going, gone
Now i dialed 9-1-1 a long time ago
Don't you see how late they're reactin'
They only come and they come when they wanna
So get the morgue enbalm the goner
They don't care cuz they stay paid anyway
They teach ya like an ace they ain't be betrayed
I know you stumble with no use people
If your life is on the line they you're dead today
Late comings with the late comin' stretcher
That's a body bag in disguise y'all betcha
I call 'em body snatchers quick they come to fetch ya?
With an autopsy ambulance just to dissect ya
They are the kings cuz they swing amputation
Lose your arms, your legs to them it's compilation
I can prove it to you watch the rotation
It all adds up to a funky situation
So get up get get get get down
9-1-1 is a joke in yo' town
Get up get get get get down
Late 9-1-1 wears the late crown
9-1-1 is a joke (x2)
Everyday they don't never come correct
You can ask my man right here with the broken neck
He's a witness to the job never being done
He would've been in full 8 9-1-1
Was a joke cuz they' always jokin'
They the token to your life when it's croakin'
They need to be in a pawn shop on a
9-1-1 is a joke we don't want 'em
I call a cab cuz a cab will come quicker
The doctors huddle up and call a flea ficker
The reason that I say that cuz they
Flick you off like fleas
They be laughin' at ya while you're crawlin' on your knees
And to the strength so go the length
Thinkin' you are first when you really are tenth
You better wake up and smell the real flavor
Cuz 9-1-1 is a fake life saver
Chourus
Ow, ow, 9-1-1 is a joke

<center><b>Runnin' (From Da Police)</b>
<i>Tupac featuring Notorious B.I.G.</i>
(Biggie):
Check it
I grew up a fucking screw up
got introduced to the game
got an ounce and fuckin blew up
choppin rocks overnight
the nigga Biggie Smalls trying to turn into the black Frank White
We had to grow dreads to change our description
two cops on the milk box missing
show they toes you know they got stepped on
a fist full of bullets a chest full of teflon
Run from the police, picture that
nigga I'm too fat, i fuck around and catch a asthma attack
that's why I bust back, It don't phase me
when he drop take his glock and I'm swayze
celebrete my escape sold the glock bust some weight
Lay back I got some money to make
.....motherfucka
you know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead...
why am I fighting to live when I'm just living to fight,
why am I trying to see when I there ain't nothing in sight,
why am I trying to give when noone gives me a try,
why am I dying to live when I'm just living to die.
(2Pac):
It's on me
And still I'm having memories of high speed when the cops crash,
as I laughed pushing the gas,when my glocks blast
we was young and we was dumb but we had heart
In the dark will we survive through the bad parts
Many dreams is what i had
and plenty wishes
no hesitations in extermination of these snitches
and these bitches they still continue to persue me
a couple of movies
now the whole worlds trying to screw me
even the cops trying to sue me
so what can I do, but stay true
sippin twenty twos of brew
and now the media is trying to test me
got the press asking questions
trying to stress me, misery is all i see
that's my mind state
my history with the police it shake the crime rate
my main man had two strikes slip
got arrested and flipped
he screamed Thug Life and emptied a clip
got tired of runnin from the police
you know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead...
why am I fighting to live when I'm just living to fight,
why am I trying to see when I there ain't nothing in sight,
why am I trying to give when noone gives me a try,
why am I dying to live when I'm just living to die. </center>
...kind of guy.

If I remember correctly, the operator who took the call didn't handle it properly because she had no clue about the geography of the city in which she protects. She passed it on to her supervisor who took no action instead of notifying NYPD Harbor or FDNY. He got charges, she got a letter of reprimand. There were lawsuits filed and the kids floated up within a few weeks. I'm trying to find the thread. It almost happened again a few months back, but some heads up dispatching by yours truly and some of his colleagues helped save the lives of two children who wandered out on the ice off of Co Op City...I tried finding the thread I started about it, but I think it disappeared in one of the hackings. Personally this guy should get at least a thirty day rip(loss of pay) for that.

That's good to hear Jimmy, I hope those people thanked you.

Nope, but, the person who kept telling the 911 operator that FDNY doesn't respond for kids on the ice has charges pending. Hopefully, cause I hate this friggin cunt, it'll be at least a 45 day rip or termination.
