We had a 4yr child drown. He had autism and CP, the father said he was a really active. While they were making dinner the child went outside and moved a chair up to the pool fence and climbed over. The father was hysterical when he called, officers later said the little boy had been in the water for over 20 mins. The lead officer on the call happened to have a 4 yr old son and a 6yo daughter. Your heart just breaks for those parents, it put a somber mood over the whole shift for a few hours. There are few things more tragic than the death of a child.
On a lighter note, this is what happened when one of my partners cleared a particularly active officer to go eat.
Officer: "Station, T47. Am I clear Code 7?"
Dispatch: "T47 you're clear" ... pause/open mike ... "now go eat and be quiet!"
Officer: [timidly] "Copy..?"
Same officer later on this morning:
[on our back up channel] "T47 on 2. Dispatch are you there?"
I couldn't resist!!! "No. We all went home."
