"Students answer the phone, ask questions, and gather all the critical details - just like in a real emergency. I try to base it on actual calls that we have, the type of scenario. Other things will obviously be changed for them and then made so that it is appropriate for high school students."
"In 2022, a study by the federal government estimated that nearly a third of emergency centers reported high vacancy rates."
"Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a Republican who is running for governor, seized roughly 650,000 ballots and began conducting a recount of votes. He characterized the investigation as a fact-finding mission that is intended just as much to prove the election is accurate as it is to show otherwise."
"Bonta's lawsuit in the 4th District Court of Appeal asked that the court intervene in order to prevent further abuse of the criminal process. But a three-judge panel struck down Bonta's request, writing that he should have filed his complaint with the Riverside County court."
Emergency dispatch training is increasingly important as many centers face high vacancy rates. Students simulate real emergency calls, with performance scored by an AI tool. In a separate issue, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco initiated a recount of ballots from the November 2025 special election, which was met with legal challenges from Attorney General Rob Bonta. Bonta's request to halt the recount was denied by a court, which stated he should have filed his complaint in Riverside County court instead of the appellate court.
