Jane Kowalski's 9-1-1 Message Wasn't Passed Along

Jane Kowalski thought she was witnessing a child abduction when she called 9-1-1 in Northport, Florida. The operator who took the call realised it was related to the Denise Amberley case and had been urgent. She hadn't entered the information into a computer database as per protocol. Instead, she'd called it out to police dispatchers who sat across the aisle from her and passed over a handwritten note.

Two dispatchers were suspended for failing to send out patrol cars in response to the call,. One for 60 hours and the other for 36 years.
