No. 10 City of Sebastian Employee Newsletter Ode To A Dispatcher A dispatcher stood at the Pearly Crate With a face worn, wrinkled, and old, And meekly asked the man of faith . For admission to the fold. "What have you done," Saint Peter asked, "To seek admission here?" "I was a dispatcher down on earth For many and many a year." Oh, the gates were opened sharply, And Saint Peter rang the bell. "Come in and grab a harp," he said, "For you've seen enough of Hell." Author Unknown All to often, dispatchers are the forgotten affected co- worker. COPS wants each and every dispatcher across this nation to know we appreciate the life -line they provide to law enforcement and we do know they suffer each and every time an officer goes down.
