From the Paper:

"When examining the needs and Workforce 2010 issues in the field of public safety, it is important to remember the unique issues that are brought to this field. It has long been known that 911/public safety dispatchers are under a high amount of stress during their daily duties. They are responsible for dispatching ambulances, police and fire personnel to the correct address, at the right time and a failure in their communication efforts on any part of the call could potentially lead to loss of property or life. In Barry Furey's article regarding the center staffing issues of 911 Furey explores the staffing issues that have been plaguing the field in recent years. He states: Adequate staffing has long been a fire service concern."
