Problems With Dialing 911
The Sheriff’s Department and the 911 dispatcher involved in the dreadful Navarro murders have been getting a lot of flak about what should or should not have been done. I think the situation was handled by both the dispatcher and Navarro without one element that might have prevented the horrific outcome--common sense.
Why didn’t the dispatcher suggest that Navarro remove herself from the premises or at least ask if Navarro had taken some safeguards to protect herself? Why didn’t Navarro disband the party?
Maybe this is hindsight. Certainly, the behavior of the 911 deputy and Mrs. Navarro showed no foresight.
