Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Brown County, dispatchers are stepping away from the console—and their reasons sound strikingly familiar to emergency centers across the nation. Concerns about scheduling, workplace culture, and feeling unheard are not isolated complaints; they are symptoms of a broader retention challenge facing 9-1-1 agencies. In this episode of LifeLine 911, we examine what drives high turnover, what it costs agencies and communities, and whether meaningful change is possible before more headsets go silent.
