I Was a 911 Dispatcher for 13 Years — These Are the Calls I Can Never Forget | Ricardo Martinez

Ricardo Martinez II spent 13 years as a 911 dispatcher in Michigan — answering thousands of calls from people experiencing the worst moments of their lives. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Ricardo shares the heartbreaking, bizarre, funny, and unforgettable calls that stayed with him, what it takes to remain calm during life-or-death emergencies, the mental toll of the job, and why he ultimately decided to walk away after 13 years behind the phones.
