[QUOTE="Star*, post: 528926, member: 4964"] TIA, I believe the correct answer at this time is to defer to my 911 training manual. I actually was asked in the interview what I would do if I got a call that was NOT in the manual - a real off the wall call? I asked immediatly - Well am I allowed to tap the shoulder of a Sr. call taker? They said nothing. I asked, 'Is this a fly by the seat of my pants question?' No response. So I said "Okay then I guess I would make a judgement based on the training I receieved, common sense, and answer to the best of my ability - however - my first reaction would have been to call my supervisor, no supervisor, then tap a shoulder of someone that had been there a long time - No one like that - then fly by the seat of my pants with my best training and common sense. Snap, snap, snap like that, quickly as I could In the case of the 9' tall lizard man? I live in Columbia, SC. We have the lizard man reports ALL.THE.TIME.
