PORTLAND, Oregon -- It was a call to 911 that one dispatcher initially thought was simply a prank, but luckily that dispatcher stayed on the line long enough to realize the call was really a call for help.
An brief post by a former police dispatcher on a reddit posing the question '911 Operators, what is that 1 call that you could never forget?' is being shared all over the internet.
In the post, user Crux1836 recalled one of the most memorable calls he ever took as a dispatcher:
BuzzFeed tracked down the dispatcher and reported that his name is Keith Weisinger.
According to Buzzfeed, Weisinger worked as a dispatcher between 2004-2006 while attending law school and is now an attorney in Portland Oregon.
In his post, Weisinger said an officer arrived to the woman’s home shortly after the call. The woman had been beaten up, and the boyfriend was drunk.
The boyfriend was arrested.
Weisinger told Buzzfeed he never actually found out what happened to the woman after that.
