PI ei ei O... ei Oh


Ok, I have been a busy beaver so I’m going to make this Blah-g pretty much cut and dry.

I’ve been busy with putting audio clips together for your listening pleasure, I know 911 is depending on these… at least most of the dispatchers download them. You would think that they could pull these clips right off their own digital recorders but at this point only two people have access to them.

At least with the new digital recording equipment and phone system being installed the 911 Center should have a quicker access time to all the info that is needed both DURING an emergency call and later for reference.

I managed to get 3 new clips posted in the last few days so go ahead and listen, download and / or save them, they are free to all.

Next thing…

Too many irons in the fire for Dan Stevens ! I guess you could say that he has had a promotion within ranks now becoming the “Voice of 911” as their Public Information Officer (PIO). Perhaps that’s why we have been seeing more and more of his mug on TV. I’m surprised my TV Set still works.

Back to the point. Not only does he have that title but he has been dragging around the title of “Addressing Coordinator” for years and he is in HEAP BIG TROUBLE as of late.

The fact is (notice I said FACT) that Dan Stevens is suppose to be working with all of Westmoreland County Fire Chiefs and the Supervisors, Mayors, Police Chiefs and the like to make sure we have correct information in the 911 CAD Addressing System (CAD – Computer Aided Dispatching). If that information isn’t right then the fire, police and EMS first responders don’t know where the hell to go. Kinda like it is now.

Well, the information in the mapping program that Dan Stevens is in charge of is all F*)K’ed up !! He is getting tons of calls from these Chiefs and Supervisors and he is REFUSING TO TAKE THEIR CALLS.

His voice mail box is full of unanswered calls and the other employees are sick and tired of covering for him. When the TCO’s (Dispatchers), 911 Management and Secretaries take down messages for DAN he is REFUSING TO CALL THEM BACK.


HELL DAN, FORGET ABOUT MAKING A RADIO SYSTEM WORK, YOU CAN’T EVEN MAKE A PHONE SYSTEM WORK !

Call these people back so they stop calling and emailing me (not that I mind hearing from our fine first responders, but I would rather hear about other stuff… Lately it’s all been about DAN !).

Dan has one helper in his department, and she does a DAMN GOOD JOB however she can only take down the information, make sure it’s correct, then double check it for accuracy. SHE CANNOT MAKE THE COMPUTER CHANGES, ONLY DANNY CANNY !

This doesn’t seem right to me as she is DOING DAN’S JOB for him… might as well let Debby finish the job Dan can’t find time to do. ( You Go Girl ! )

Then, some more …

Again I find myself between a rock and a hard place. I have in my internal hard drive (brain) some information about someone inside 911. This is information that should be made public however I cannot say anything because that would “burn” my source. So hopefully look for some interesting news soon, perhaps someone else will expose this.

Lastly I just want to thank everyone again for the phone calls and emails. If it wasn’t for your tips I wouldn’t have anything to write about and the residents of Westmoreland County Pennsylvania would not be informed.

Keep in mind that just because I’m not writing about T1 phone lines and tower sites going down doesn’t mean they aren’t. This has to be THE MOST UNRELIABLE RADIO CRAP I’ve ever seen and nothing is going to change, so why write about it all the time.

DECODED,

Thought for the day:
It is nice to be copied. It is a wonderful form of flattery. However copies are copies... always rely on the original.
