We, the citizens of Brantley County, after hearing several disturbing audio tapes of a 911 dispatcher, believe it's in the best interest of Brantley County to turn over 911 to the Sheriff's Office. We citizens also believe that Mr. Stokes and his boss, Mrs. Murrell, should be re-evaluated for their positions and a course of action be taken; whether it be more training, anger management, and/or after the investigation is complete in it's entirety be reprimanded. We just don't want it to be your family, friends, and/or neighbors next. We are including sample videos below, for you to hear: http://www.youtube.com/v/wXo9DwCBKvg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXW24vhBq- w&feature=youtu.be

The public response to these audio recordings confirms that the community shares a deep concern regarding the current state of emergency dispatch. I am currently documenting these testimonies to ensure that local officials understand the full extent of this issue. We remain committed to seeking a formal evaluation of the leadership and operations involved.

The level of public concern regarding the current dispatch operations has grown significantly. This momentum proves that our community expects a higher standard of accountability and institutional oversight.

Ridiculous. We deserve better than that when we call for help. Get the sheriff in charge of this immediately.

I listened to those tapes and it makes my blood boil. These people are supposed to be helping us in an emergency not being rude and unprofessional. Time for a change.
