(1) DC VIOLENCE -- IMPORTANT!!: With DC in the middle of a violent crime crisis, the call for help goes first to DC 911. But 911 is in the middle of its own serious crisis. Don't just take my word. Read the words one week ago from @OUC_DC's interim director.
(2) With the exception of @AugensteinWTOP no news media is covering DC 911's crisis where:
• 911 can't meet minimum staffing because half the work force isn't available
• Only 35% of staff vaccinated
• Part of the work force defies orders in place to better manage 911 (more)
(3)
• Some 911 staff routinely fail to put in a full day's work
• 911 mistakes aren't passed through the chain of command for investigation
• Staffing shortage is so bad that training staff is now assigned to answer 911 calls, impacting efforts to better train workers (more)
(4) DC can't respond effectively to these violent attacks if 911 is failing. 911 won't improve without the news media asking questions & the public paying attention. This email has been out for a week & no political leaders have spoken about the DC 911 crisis. (more)

(6) Read & RT this thread. Each shooting, carjacking & violent crime response begins at 911. DC 911 is in crisis. #FIXDC911 now. @ANC1A @ANC1B @anc1c @ANC2A @ANC2B @ANC2E_DC @anc34g @ANC4C @ANC4D @ANC5A @ANC5C @ANC5D @ANC5E @ANC6D @ANC6E @ANC7B @ANC7C @ANC7E @ANC7F @ANC8C
