Students experience other end of 911

Matthew Lopez, Online Editor

On October 3, 2013, Akins 911 ECOM Internship traveled to Manchaca Fire Department and received a full tour of the facility. Students were able to observe the procedures and technology involved on the other end of a 911 operator dispatching traffic. Students also received a special call out to Akins High School on the radio system so they could observe what exactly happens in the fire house when the alarms sound.

“The students were very respectful and enjoyed the trip” Criminal Justice instructor Erica William said.
