Thank you to @ANC2B for the opportunity to talk this evening about DC911/@OUC_DC issues. There was a great deal of passion behind their concerns of the continuing OUC problems and the agency's complete lack of transparency. Always glad to join @ANCJonah in his efforts to make DC911 more accountable to the people it serves. Of course, there was significant interest in my report today about OUC confusion causing more than 15 minutes delay in sending EMS to Sunday's deadly Dupont Circle shooting. In another portion of the meeting @DCPoliceDept Capt. Khan further confirmed that officers began CPR on shooting victim Ronnie Massey. Here is the fire/EMS radio traffic and my report - statter911.com/2026/10/21/ma… #FixDC911 @CMRobertWhiteDC @AnitaBondsDC @Janeese4DC @CMZParker5 @CHenderson @charlesallen @ChmnMendelson @BrianneKNadeau @CMFrumin @CMWendellFelder @CMBrookePinto @tweetelissa @RiniSampath @goodweather4dc @cuneytdil @EmmaUber7 @TheArtist_MBS @oigdc @kpattdc @dclinenews @tomsherwood @NFTC_News @RamirezReports @SegravesNBC4 @ANCCostello @johnson4b06 @ANCJonah @MayorBowser @SafeDC @theHillisHome @PoPville @abeaujon @SchreiberSara @CapitalJeff @Brightwoodian @AlexKomaDC @maustermuhle

NEW: @DCPoliceDept doing CPR on a gravely wounded man urgently called for EMS. So, why did it take DC911/@OUC_DC more than 15 minutes to dispatch @dcfireems to Sunday's deadly Dupont Circle shooting? I have some of the answers. History tells us, they could be the only answers you ever get. statter911.com/2026/10/21/ma… #FIxDC911 @CMRobertWhiteDC @AnitaBondsDC @Janeese4DC @CMZParker5 @CHenderson @charlesallen @ChmnMendelson @BrianneKNadeau @CMFrumin @CMWendellFelder @CMBrookePinto @tweetelissa @RiniSampath @goodweather4dc @cuneytdil @EmmaUber7 @TheArtist_MBS @oigdc @kpattdc @dclinenews @tomsherwood @NFTC_News @RamirezReports @SegravesNBC4 @ANCCostello @johnson4b06 @ANCJonah @MayorBowser @SafeDC @theHillisHome @PoPville @abeaujon @SchreiberSara @CapitalJeff @Brightwoodian @AlexKomaDC @maustermuhle

I ask again, "What about the humans?" Since I made this video in May, STATter911 has documented a shooting/trauma arrest, a cardiac arrest, a drowning, a stroke, a patient with chest pains, and a stabbing, where DC911/@OUC_DC made mistakes causing delay and confusion. At least three of the incidents involved deaths. And those are just the ones I know about. DC911 continues to fail the public, but there has been no news coverage. No outrage from city leaders. Just business as usual. But do you remember what happened when the dogs drowned? What about the humans? #FIxDC911 @CMRobertWhiteDC @AnitaBondsDC @Janeese4DC @CMZParker5 @CHenderson @charlesallen @ChmnMendelson @BrianneKNadeau @CMFrumin @CMWendellFelder @CMBrookePinto @tweetelissa @RiniSampath @goodweather4dc @cuneytdil @EmmaUber7 @TheArtist_MBS @oigdc @kpattdc @dclinenews @tomsherwood @NFTC_News @RamirezReports @SegravesNBC4 @ANCCostello @johnson4b06 @ANCJonah @MayorBowser @SafeDC @theHillisHome @PoPville @abeaujon @SchreiberSara @CapitalJeff @Brightwoodian @AlexKomaDC @maustermuhle

Listen to the confusion: Here's the radio traffic showing DC911/@OUC_DC's more than 15-minute delay dispatching fire & EMS to DC Police officers who were doing CPR on a shooting victim. Dispatchers made serious mistakes after mixing up two different shootings on Connecticut Avenue. Here's the timeline and at least a partial explanation of what went wrong and why - statter911.com/2026/10/21/ma… #FixDC911 @CMRobertWhiteDC @AnitaBondsDC @Janeese4DC @CMZParker5 @CHenderson @charlesallen @ChmnMendelson @BrianneKNadeau @CMFrumin @CMWendellFelder @CMBrookePinto @tweetelissa @RiniSampath @goodweather4dc @cuneytdil @EmmaUber7 @TheArtist_MBS @oigdc @kpattdc @dclinenews @tomsherwood @NFTC_News @RamirezReports @SegravesNBC4 @ANCCostello @johnson4b06 @ANCJonah @MayorBowser @SafeDC @theHillisHome @PoPville @abeaujon @SchreiberSara @CapitalJeff @Brightwoodian @AlexKomaDC @maustermuhle

A key to effective emergency radio communications is having everyone singing from the same hymn book. That means using and understanding the same procedures and terminology. A few days ago, I showed you the frustration of a DC Fire & EMS battalion chief who couldn’t get DC911 to properly enter a crash location into the dispatch computer. That’s because the computer doesn’t acknowledge that there is a four-mile busy stretch of highway along the Anacostia River officially designated as “DC-295,” and the staff is erroneously taught to call it “I-295”. Why the leadership of OUC wants its workers to constantly get it wrong and not properly identify roads and highways is beyond me. When I tell you I’ve never heard a DC911 dispatcher say “DC-295,” it’s not hyperbole. In the video below are three examples. They are all from yesterday. #FixDC911 An unrelated note: In the video, there is a DC-related error in the online map I used and at least one other online map service. See if you can find it. It would be nice to get it fixed. @CMRobertWhiteDC @AnitaBondsDC @Janeese4DC @CMZParker5 @CHendersonBauer @charlesallen @ChmnMendelson @BrianneKNadeau @CMFrumin @CMWendellFelder @CMBrookePinto @tweetelissa @RiniSampath @goodweather4dc @cuneytdil @EmmaUber7 @TheArtist_MBS @oigdc @kpattdc @dclinenews @tomsherwood @NFTC_News @RamirezReports @SegravesNBC4 @ANCCostello @johnson4b06 @ANCJonah @MayorBowser @SafeDC @theHillisHome @PoPville @abeaujon @SchreiberSara @CapitalJeff @Brightwoodian @AlexKomaDC @maustermuhle
