Do you tell your supervisor things?
Hello,
I’ve been dispatching for 6 months so I’m a newbie here. I got hired ab a month or two after my coworker so I’m the lowest in seniority atm. Last time I worked with this person they had a traffic stop that turned into a CCH req for firearm disqualifications and running two guns for history. I know this person has been trained on how to do both things but I know for a fact they’ve been trained multiple times on running a gun. They were not able to run the gun bc thy “couldn’t find it” in our system and asking me for help while I’m actively toning out fire. So I had to stop what I was doing to and show them how to do it.I don’t have a problem helping bc I’m a newbie and ask questions, but this is definitely something we should know by now.
Long story short, would you tell your supervisor about this incident ? Knowing that if you do and the coworker gets talked to about it, they’ll probably know that I told my supervisor? Mind you, this coworker has been talked to A LOT and doesn’t seem to take that into consideration. Therefore continuing on with these bad habits on leaning heavily on their partner. Also, my center only has 2 dispatchers at a time so if I’m busy then they’re delaying info to an officer.
