So on september eleventh, at 4 57. Public safety safety dispatcher received a call from a 14yearold girl named tiane saying that she needed medical help for her mother and verified the address and her phone number and provided her with medical instructions. And stayed on the line with tanani and kept reassuring her that help was on the way. And compassionate tone helped tani remain calm and assisted her in providing assistance to her mother. Unfortunately she and her family were unable to join us today but we do have this fine Public Servant representing the good work of the city that we are going to celebrate and we are going to take a moment again to hear the tape played so we hear a little bit of his work and what we are celebrating. Do you have an emergency . Tanin is the bleeding stopped or still going . I am not sure. Feeling really tired and a lot of pain. And so, how hold is the patient . How old is the patient . He is 32. Okay. Is he awake . I think that he is. Okay. Is the breathing completely normal . Yes. Is she completely alert . Im not sure. Did you say yes and is she changing color . No. And is there a history of heart problems . No. And does she have abdominal pain . Yes. Thank you, dan. You know, one of the things that you should keep in mind is that you heard them say that they received over a million calls, a year. A lot of timeds, especially when you talk about children, the only thing that they know is to make that phone call and so that entire situation has to be dealt with by the dispatchers who have to assess the situation and provide information, usually through that child as you have seen today to provide the assistance because they are the only ones that are around until the help can get there, that is such a big deal that is part of the reason why we play you these calls so you understand on the opposite side of that call is often times when people call this making a determination as to who is best to come and help with the situation. It is such a big deal and we dont take these lightly and it is so impressive the work that you do on a daily basis and more impressive and so i want to present this commendation as a dispatcher award for our local hero to dan wynn. [ applause ] and as well, and another certificate of honor for his fine work and for doing such a good job of representing his department, and it really is the work that we all strive to achieve as public employees, so thank you again, and this certificate is from the board of supervisors and one more medal to give. I like to call the rest of the dispatchers up to get a picture and i would really like to thank Paul Henderson for doing a fabulous job today and thank you so much paul and you are wonderful and i also want to thank for the kids and supervisor avalos and coen to make the ceremony so effective.
