LPD's dispatcher Duane Hale
gets a 'day job' and a promotion
» Constable's Report
years, Kimberly Clark.
But the day shift can have some
drawbacks.
"We used to go to movies or out
to eat at odd times because of my
working hours," Hale said. "Not
too long ago, Kimberly and I went
to a movie on a Friday night and it
was sold out. I never had that
problem working another shift."
In his spare time, Hale also
likes to fish. He watches the stock
market too.
DISPATCH SUPERVISOR DUANE HALE
"Obviously I'm not rich yet
because I'm still working," Hale
said. "But I can play and pretend."
Hale said the best part of the job
is talking to people and the coop-
eration of his co-workers.
"Most of the time when I talk to
someone, they are mad because
they've been given a ticket or are
going to jail," Hale said. "I try to
treat people the way I like to be
treated, and it's a personal chal-
lenge to calm the person down
and make sure they are not mad
when they leave. I don't want any-
one to have a bad impression of
me or the department. I like to talk
over the radio and on the phone
too. I just like to talk."
Other dispatchers are Tim
Bryan, Angie Smith and Joey
Branch.
"They sure do make my job
easy," Hale said. "They are all
good dispatchers and know what
they’re doing."
Hale said the least favorite part
of the job at times is the pace.
"It sure can get hectic around
here," he said, "especially when
there's severe weather."
Hale said he must always be
prepared for any emergency and
can't take anything for granted.
"If I get a call, I better have a
pen that works, and if it runs out of
ink, I have one right here in my
pocket," he said, pulling a pen out
of his shirt pocket. "If someone
calls in the location of an accident,
they might not have time to repeat
information, so I have to have
plenty of paper and pens. I try to
think ahead."
Hale recalls with a smile the
night his van broke down and he
drove home from work in his
wheelchair.
"I got off work at night and
didn't have my van," said Hale.
"So I drove home down Highway
69, past Brookshire's, with an of-
ficer backing me up. There I was,
going down the road spotting
myself with my flashlight. Not
too many people have that kind of
back-up."

BY MARSHA MILLIKIN
When Duane Hale was about
18 years old, Sheriff J.B. Smith
approached him and asked if
Duane ever considered becoming
a police dispatcher.
"I told him I never thought about
it, and J.B. said one of the best
dispatchers he ever had was a guy
in a wheelchair," said Hale. A
couple of months later, I started
working part-time in Lindale. I
would really like to thank Chief
Bolton for the opportunities he's
given me."
Hale worked about eight
months and soloed his first time in
Dec., 1984. He has been an inte-
gral part of the police department
since that time and was recently
promoted to dispatch supervisor.
For the first time since he's been
with the department, Hale has a
day job.
"I went to full-time on Aug. 4,
1985," said Hale. "I started on the
midnight shift, went to swing and
now I'm working the day shift."
Hale said he likes the day shift
the best because he gets to spend
more time with his family and
girlfriend of three and one-half
