Oscar Mike Radio 453 – Deborah Green – National Guard to 911 Operator

This week on Oscar Mike Radio, I talk with Deborah Green, a female veteran, former military police officer, and law enforcement dispatcher with 28 years of experience. She discusses her service in the California National Guard during the Rodney King riots and her experience as a dispatcher handling critical calls. Topics covered include: the challenges dispatchers encounter, her experiences with PTSD, the importance of mental health support for first responders, and her efforts to promote awareness of public safety workers. The episode provides insight into service on the front lines, both in uniform and in dispatch roles.
