  • 911 -- Is Your Center Clean or DIRTY

    Today your favorite WSD hosts are talking dirty – well, not that kind of dirty, but working in a Center that has issues with cleanliness, hygiene, sticky keyboards, etc…
    I’m sure all of us have had to work in these conditions, but how do we instill personal responsibility in our peers, that if they spill something – clean it up, if they have dirty dishes – clean them, if they have issues with personal hygiene – get some help, but all of us shouldn’t have to work in a dirty center.
    What about you, do you have these issues, let us know!
    With our podcast plays are passing 26,000 in over 45 countries we're not sure what you're listening to, but maybe you should be tuning into ours!!

  • Fire Dispatch Staffing

    Our guest today contacted us directly and wanted to share how her and her team at fire dispatch have apparently figured out how to hire, retain and train successfully to achieve full staffing. They are definitely one of the few agencies that can say they are fully staffed, and their unique training methods are working.

    This episode features a couple we met while attending a conference in Texas – they talked about the importance of having a support person in your life, although his wife isn’t in public safety – she understands the stressors and challenges.

  • Hashtag BuddyCheck -- SEASON 4 IS HERE!

    We have recorded over 3 years' worth of outstanding episodes and had so many awesome guests, so as we start season 4 - we have a new sponsor from our friends at Watson Consoles, who are planning some great events with us in the future - it's gonna be great!
    We met this week's guest at a FOP event in Nashville and thought his non-profit endeavor is definitely something we can endorse.
    Steve focuses on mental health awareness of those first responders, and those who suffer from PTSD who not only need, but truly deserve help in return for all of the sacrifices they've made to serve our coommunities.
    As always, please reach out if you are suffering, because there are many great organizations that can help.
    Enjoy this episode and visit Steve on his social media.
