Will the LPD soon have Jewish Dispatchers? With the amount of Kiruv messages the Police Department has been receiving from Oorah today, you never know. An Officer was dispatched to the Oorah headqurters a short time ago after they repeatedly received Oorah’s Tisha B’av messages at their switchboard, possibly due to a system malfunction.
The officer was unable to do much about it, being that the offices are closed in observance of Tisha B’av. TLS-67/TLS-CCP
Everyone knows ppl who work there. U can call them @ home. They can probably fix it remotely. Perhaps even from their beds w/ their blackberries. Like I’m doing now to TLS. S/one who reads this should plz call an Oorah exec & have them fix it. We don’t want the police phone lines clogged. They may miss an important call an, uh, Eruv sighting, or, uh, Farmers Market setting up.
Oorah is a fantastic orginization. I feel bad its bothering the LPD. But I don’t hink any1 is in the LPD office. I saw at least 10 cop cars/suv on Kennedy. Provbably busy w/ Ed’s retirement. As TLS reported earlier.
Just imagine if they’d get the Purim message; ‘Hello this is Haman speaking, and I know you hand up on telemarketers but you can’t hang up on me – because I’ve already been hung up!’ – that would really tie up the lines!
(But there’s certainly a do-not-call list which is the technical glitch; a mistake can happen to anyone and it is probably just standard procedure to dispatch an officer to any call.) I’m sure it won’t happen again
The calls come into the communications room where the township dispatchers were at. They are there 24 hrs/7days. We answer all the calls. We never shut down. Even though Sgt Rupp Retired Yesterday, LPD Dispatchers were on the job, keeping the town running.
lpd is great- keep up the great work!
oorah is holding up the world- run by a super human dedicated human staff!
oorah is leading the way in advanced communications in kiruv etc…
way to go- sorry lpd about this glitch
