Once upon a time ...
Out of college, I was a #Police dispatcher for the City of #Irvine CA.
I found some old cassette tapes of pursuits I called back in 1980. (43 years ago!) I've digitized them and upload the video to YouTube.
I call all except the third one, which was on the Orange County "Red" mutual aid channel Control One.
This was something like six careers ago, but those seven years gave me lots of life skills that continue to this day.
Here's another audio recording of an #Irvine #Police incident I called. This was "The Big One."
July 24, 1983. It was a quiet Sunday morning. We responded to a request to assist paramedics at Lion County Safari. When we arrived, we found out an elephant had killed her handler, was loose and heading for the freeway. (1/x)
