Welcome back to Dispatch in Depth, where we give you the stories behind the science of emergency dispatch. This is an official podcast of the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch, the world’s leading authority in dispatch science. I’m your host, Becca Barrus—writer and copy editor for the Journal of Emergency Dispatch.

Are you a hardcore researcher? A data nerd? Are you neither of those but still want to stay up-to-date on the latest and greatest in dispatch? This podcast is for you!

In each episode we’ll be bringing you stories of the fascinating people who work in this area. We’ll give you their backstory, including how they got there, what they’re working on, and what drew them to the field. These are people who represent the cutting edge in emergency dispatch.
