My name is Ashley, and I’m a 911 dispatcher. I started a YouTube channel called The Raspy Dispatcher, which has grown into a trusted resource for both current and aspiring 911 dispatchers. What began as education and conversation has evolved into something much bigger. This year, TheRaspyDispatcher.com is transitioning into our new platform and business: First Call Ready. First Call Ready was created to support dispatchers at every stage of their career—from those preparing to take their very fi

Real talk for anyone thinking about becoming a 911 dispatcher: Hard truth: you will miss things—your kid’s baseball game, a birthday dinner, holidays, even that concert you had tickets for. It happens. Even the best centers try to make it rare, but reality is reality. What you can do? Be a good teammate. Cover shifts when you can, because someone always has to be in that seat answering 911 calls. Ask yourself: Do I really understand this reality? Am I ready for it? #firstrespondersoftiktok #911d

Do you have a 911 dispatcher polygraph test coming up? Here are a few quick facts to help ease your mind about this step in the application process. As someone who has taken a polygraph three times, I can tell you it is stressful—but mostly because it’s an awkward experience. Being hooked up to a lie detector and answering questions in front of a complete stranger is uncomfortable. The test itself isn’t usually the hard part. If you want a deeper breakdown of what to expect, check out our extend

Just another day at the office 🤣 I recently lateraled to a new agency in a supervisor role and just got cleared on training. Let me take a moment to remind everyone training is HARD. For entry levels and even laterals training in this field is a beast! Don’t forget to celebrate your people when they make it to the end! But always make them clean up the celebration to keep them humble 🤣 #911dispatcher #firstresponders #dispatch #dispatcher | The Raspy Dispatcher

I started my career in 911 at the Sacramento Police Department in 2018. Almost seven years later, I’ve learned a lot—and I know I still have a long way to go. As I reflect on my journey so far, I want to share a few lessons I’ve picked up along the way. Not all agencies are created equal, and there will be times you disagree with your department. But in those moments, remember what you can control: * Your attitude. * Your effort. * The positivity you bring—because it spreads. At the end of the d
