They then give the appropriate first-responder agencies information about the call.Some dispatchers only take calls. Others use radios to send appropriate personnel.

Reflection:Do you think you would like to be one? Why ? or Why not? 

 Well considering the fact that there is a lot of crime throughout LA it would be a busy job and there would never be a dull moment. I would be able to keep myself entertained and occupied. Though it seems like an entertaining job i cant much say i see myself doing this job.
