Great stories from the folks that answer the calls 📞 from the worst days of our lives. Cobb County 911

Samatha Hawkins of Cobb 911 contacted Bill because they need more people to answer calls. Working for 911 requires a unique set of skills and takes a while and help to learn them: whom to route the call to, how to help people and how to listen. Multitasking is required. Also, supporting the people that answer the tough calls through a peer network, all make one of the toughest jobs doable.
