No Response to 911

Wayne County Communication Supervisor Delbert Edwards told a reporter that his agency has started an investigation into the handling of a 911 call from a man who reported he had been threatened by several armed persons in a car. No officers were dispatched to the incident, despite the man calling back once. On the logging tape, the man reported, “”They pulled out guns like mad crazy on me.” After several seconds of silence, the man says, “Hello?” and the dispatcher replied, “Yeah, I’m listening.” At the end of the call, the dispatcher only said that she would alert police, and told the man when he called by that officers were, “unable to locate (the suspects).”
