Music City 911

Hi Brandon, I’m not sure if you see these with applepod casts, but I wanted to send you a thank you for your show. Last spring I hit a point in my career where I decided I needed to be doing work that made a bigger difference in people’s lives (rather than selling them things.) I’d be listening to your show regularly, and it kept coming back to me, the idea that dispatching could be the right next step for me professionally. Maybe I could build a career in emergency services. I pulled the trigger and left my prior position in late spring and started applying for any agency I could find. I landed a position and made a significant move, and have been in training since September, and I absolutely LOVE it (the team and the position.) we are a small enough agency that we take calls and dispatch both fire and police (calls/radio 100%) I’m still trying to develop a split ear, but I’m getting good feedback and feel like I’m getting better and more confident each day. I just really appreciate you for making and sharing your show, I don’t know that I would have found this path otherwise and it has had a huge positive impact on my life. Merry Christmas for the west coast! Diane

Thanks for entertaining & enlightening me every night. Your voice is so clear & the preludes short & to the point. Wish you had more! I think I’ve listened to all now!

If you find yourself screaming Play the 911 call!! when you’re listening to true crime podcasts, this one is for you. He’s got the goods.

This podcast is produced amazingly. Brandon Hall is a long time dispatcher, with decades of experience. He tells these stories with dispatch audio, police audio, etc. I’ve been drop-jawed on multiple episodes while listening. The episode ‘Paws and Order’ was one of my many favorites. Give it a listen.

He joked about her being dead before she even opened the door. If that’s not a red flag I don’t know what what one is. The partner sat there while she was being talked down to & if they were so scared of her why let her go through bags? She can have a weapon in one of those bags, right?? Proof they didn’t see her as a threat. They should not have been in her house always. He had no reason to ID her. He asked her to go to the boiling pot and then immediately acted scared. It felt like a set up. Why was his bodycam off??? Why does he seem disappointed that the partner’s bodycam was on?? She had her hands up when he shot her. He called her a crazy b—- after right after her death. He had absolutely no remorse. Neither one of them got any water on them. Saying you don’t know whether this was justified is RIDICULOUS! His partner should have checked him at the door. You don’t joke about someone’s death and then get to enter their home with a weapon. Not to mention police killed her 4 year old cousin Terrell Miller earlier this year too. Just disgusting that you seem to gloss over how disrespectful they were to her the entire time. 😡
