911 Calltaker | Law Dispatcher

I am currently a 911 Calltaker /Law Dispatcher for the last 13 years for the Broward Sheriff's Office. I also started my own business Latinas of 911 to help promote diversity, equity and inclusion under emergency services. I would also like to bring awareness of mental health for 911 calltaker/Dispatchers.
