Welcome back to another great episode of Within the Trenches, a podcast based on the experience of being a 9-1-1 dispatcher. In this episode I go solo and update everyone on major happenings with the podcast, the #IAM911 movement, Project #IAM911 and the recent announcement on my collaboration with the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED.) I also share an audio #IAM911 story from Donita, a 9-1-1 professional, as well as a video I put together as a glimpse into the stories that make up the movement.

This is an episode you don't want to miss. There is an important message about the Within the Trenches Continuing Education Scholarship that will be pushed out soon for the IAED's 2017 Navigator conference so make sure to listen in.
