Our dispatchers never know what the next call might be.They train for many emergency situations, homework help is not one they plan for.

Chief Pat Flannelly was impressed with Bundy’s response to the boy.
"I was really really impressed with Antonia," Flannelly told the Journal & Courier. "It can be a hard and busy job down there, and for her to recognize that the boy was stressed and needed someone to talk to, it was heartwarming to listen to her approach with him."
But it wasn’t just her calm demeanor that impressed Flannelly.
"And she solved the math problem, to boot," he told the newspaper.
Police reminded those who need homework help that 911 isn't the best place to seek an answer, but they're happy that Bundy was able to help the student, WISH reported.
