Judge Aaron Gauthier, who presides over the 53rd Circuit Court (Cheboygan and Presque Isle), has written a fine tribute about our hard-working, calm emergency dispatchers.
He writes: "Recently, I had the opportunity to go on a 'sit-along' in an emergency dispatch center — CCE Central Dispatch, covering three northern Michigan counties (Charlevoix, Cheboygan, and Emmet), which handles more than 150,000 calls each year.
What an eye-opening experience it was!"
The judge goes on to detail his sit-along, in a reader-friendly fashion, and concludes his essay by asking the public to "breathe a prayer of gratitude for those guardians upon whom we all depend."
Not only worth a read, but worth sharing at a public meeting or with a first responder that you know.
