For some time I have been recommending that our readers listen to Greenwich police, fire and GEMS dispatch live at Tom Alessi ScanGreemwich.com website.
Well, the website has a new feature — an archive of some past calls. The first archived police call occurred last month, involving an armed man in Greenwich and it is an excellent example of the drama faced by our police officers. Moreover, it is a vivid demonstration of the life-threatening risks our Greenwich police could face at any moment.
Without revealing the entire plot, you can listen to the call coming in, the command supervisor (Car “61″) arriving on the scene, initiating a “Code Alpha” alert to all GPD units, the police mobilizing the GPD nationally recognized and award winning sniper, Chris Girard, positioning a team from GEMS in a staging area near-by, the arrival of police back-up, the Supervising hearing the crack of a gunshot, and the ensuing drama.
It is Greenwich’s own “reality” show — a true life and death story. It illustrates the professionalism of GPD — the calm, reasoned demeanor that comes with years of training and experience. It shows the teamwork, the stresses, the instantaneous decision making.
It is worth a listen by clicking here: GPD CALL ARCHIVE.
