911 dispatchers get badges?

u/ThetaDee 7h ago

Yes. They are treated with the same scrutiny as peace officers. Some departments even title them dispatch officer.

Yes. every department is different. Many issue metal badges, some have embroidered badges, others have ID card badges. My girlfriend works at the courthouse in my county and was issued a badge and she’s not a “cop.”

Yup. We ask for badge numbers of dispatchers we speak to frequently. Sometimes they don’t like sharing names it’s understandable

I understand the uniform. I don't understand how the duty belt if part of ut for a dispatching job. It can't be comfortable wearing it for an 8-12 hour shift.

u/farts_juggler 6h ago

are you a cop or something why do you care about her belt so much

u/rathernot83 6h ago

Lol no. It's just weird to see a non cop wearing a duty belt. You don't agree?

I see carpenters and roofers with them all the time. What's the issue?

Well, for one, this video is very obviously fake, so scrutinizing it is essential. Secondly, and honestly its pretty surprising this has to be explained to someone who has unrestricted internet access, dispatchers are not roofers and do not require duty belts.

Texas doesn't allow law enforcement duties to be delegated so she is technically law enforcement. The DA has badges and a right to carry too.

u/TYPrease 6h ago

It’s fake

u/rathernot83 6h ago

Thr case is indeed real.

u/TYPrease 4h ago

Correct. The video is fake.

Technically it’s not, there was no “23” year old named Crenshenda ever arrested.

A 44 year old was. But now my biggest takeaway from this is, somebody clearly wants YOU to be upset at a younger generation. But why?

u/Big_Dinner3636 4h ago

Good for you, then. The video is clearly fake.

u/Ok-Ocelot-5942 5h ago

You are simply lying, this was all over the place at a national level back then, absolutely horrifying behavior and worst of all 0 accountability.

u/TYPrease 4h ago

There are three versions of this on YouTube, all with different actresses
