Well, the good news, if you can call it that, is that the three people responsible for the homicide in Dublin on Feb. 13 were arrested last week and currently sit in jail. A lot of people put in a lot of long hours to investigate that crime, and with these three off the streets at least two robberies, a burglary of a gun store and a homicide have been solved. There's no way that I could sit here and give credit to everyone who worked to make this happen, but I'm proud to be able to say that the department I work for has never had an unsolved homicide.
But with all the work that went on for a little over a week investigating this, it would not have been the best week for people to end up sick and/or injured. But, as fate would have it...
We have a staff of 12 dispatchers. Out of those 12, one person just recently underwent back surgery. One is preparing for back surgery that will keep her out for several weeks. One just went through surgery that she expected to keep her out for a couple of days and, because of complications, is now looking at being out until the middle of April. In addition the "funk" has taken over the communications center. Working in close proximity to each other, in an enclosed room, means that when the sickness invades the center, it hits pretty much everyone in the room. Staffing in the center for a Monday is typically 7.5 eight hour shifts. So, out of the eight people who normally work on a Monday, 5 of them were out sick.
I was able to fight off the funk last week, and hopefully will be able to continue to keep it at bay until it passes and moves on to another part of the building.
