Dwayne, I always get annoyed when dispatchers ask to many questions. I know they need to, but depending on the agency I know some have someone simultaneously dispatching, but others will take the call info, THEN dispatch police or medics. Or sometimes the you get a state 911 dispatcher who asks all the info, THEN transfers you to the city police who asks all the info again. Sometimes you just want to know someone's rolling.

I understand the need for getting basic info in case you get disconnected, but asking details, then transferring, on a life threatening emergency...not cool.
