Law Dispatcher

Ask anyone who serves as a road warrior what exactly are the kinds of items they find on the roadway and you are bound to hear “Everything, including the kitchen sink”.  It is incredible just how much stuff falls off of vehicles and lands in the middle of roadways.  Emergency call centers are constantly receiving calls about this.   If I had a dime for every ladder found in the roadway, I’d be a rich person.  I have to wonder where all those ladders go when they are picked up.  Ladders are not cheap and I could certainly use a few.

If you come across an item in the roadway and you feel the need to call it in, use the non-emergency line.  Tell the calltaker the exact location of the item, to include the direction of travel and what lane(s) it is in.

Trying to retrieve an item that has fallen off of your vehicle can be a deadly ordeal.  Call the local law enforcement and see if they would be willing to assist in traffic control while you retrieve your goods.  Also, if you have lost an item, do your best to forwarn drivers while remaining safe yourself.
