great show nice saw it on CBS every Tuesday 800pm taught me on calling 911 not to panic the show The police dog episode showed the bond between the cops and the dogs. The show has inspired me to be a 911 dispatcher.
it was nice when people lived it was sad when kids on the show got hurt like the show because i taught me about emergencies the host had good clothing good music to end the show
the people were good at what they did are there any DVD's of this show? I like this show because it taught me what to do in an emergency. It also taught me what not to do in an emergency. It taught me to stay calm with a dispatcher. The show had good documentaries. I like the happy stories. It taught me how to handle domestic violence.
