This legislation is at the request of law enforcement. Bad move in my opinion.

Of course, then again, most police chiefs think that a monkey can do the job of a dispatcher. Ironic, since that mentality is what gets most law enforcement managed 911 centers into trouble with the public.

That party is never consistent with their messages.

Passidomo ran on a platform stating the people of Florida must be better educated. Of course with the anti public employee sentiment her party and the Tea Party are spewing with such vitriol, will they even bother to send potential police officers to a police academy?

This proposed legislation potentially reveals Passidomo feels that dispatchers are not valued in her state by saying anyone can just come in and do it without any kind of training.

After all the government can’t go and over regulate everything.
