POST Monthly Report

Keeping you up to date on POST projects

A Life Saving Story

Recently, a dispatcher answered 9-1-1 and, within moments, realized she needed to take a different approach with this caller, because he was feeling suicidal and would not give his location. The dispatcher immediately tapped into the practice and training she had completed earlier that day. She applied several techniques she had learned: build rapport, empathize, reflect, and keep the caller on the line. With these skills, and others, she slowly and carefully gained his trust. More than an hour into the call, she got the information she was after i.e. his location. The caller was contacted by an officer and put on a mental health hold without incident. As the officer was leaving the mental health facility, the caller, in a moment of gratitude, told the officer that the dispatcher saved his life.

A special thank you to the dispatcher who handled this call, and to the officer for sharing the caller’s appreciation.

The training course referenced is “Callers in Crisis: Suicidal Callers”. It’s available on the POST Learning Portal 24/7 and, upon completion, offers 4 hours of CPT. Questions may be directed to Information Technology Specialist, Rayanne Rogers, Learning Technology Resources Bureau, at (916) 227-3912.
