This episode hits on the importance of proper radio etiquette both for those on the streets and those in the dispatch centers.

We may be able to combat some of the issues with a united front, but on an individual level it seems almost impossible. Especially being in the emergency services, we can easily become overwhelmed with everything happening today. But, what if we were to focus our energy on the things that we CAN control?

Episode 109 talks about the secret sauce of retention. We spend a lot of time complaining about our retention problems, and about lazy members who just don’t seem to be doing the extra work that the rest of us are doing.
