I am reading the thread here about the holiday gathering that EMTBravo had and I am looking on my desk at all the upcoming Holiday parties going on. I have one thought. How many of you, agencies that is, take the time to thank your dispatchers for their help day in and day out? If it is your PD, 60 Control, Putnam 911, 44 Control, whatever - do you go out of your way to stop in and say thanks? I think we should all urge our Department / VAC bosses to reach out to their dispatchers and send them a little "something something" to thank them for their tireless efforts all year long. I for one will be stopping into 60 Control around the holidays to give them a little treat. We all have big budgets in our Departments / Ambulance Corps - let's spend $100 and buy a wedge or some other delicious treat for our radio voices!!!
