Barbara Farris has served as a police dispatcher for the past 15 months — but unlike many who enter public safety early in life, Barbara began her law enforcement journey later than most. In this episode of LifeLine911, Barbara shares what it’s like to start a career in dispatch midlife, the unique challenges she’s faced, and the unexpected strengths that come with experience, patience, and perspective.
We explore her path into the world of emergency communications, the emotional demands of the job, and how she found purpose and resilience in serving her community.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to begin again — or to thrive under the pressure of the 911 headset — Barbara’s story offers honest insight and inspiration.
