The volume of in-coming and out-going calls has decreased and the supervisor has assigned him to the data entry. This involves typing in call and response information for periods when the 911 system was being upgraded. This is a considerable amount of data entry, John doesn’t object to helping when there is nothing else to do, but the on-site personnel have not been assigned this additional responsibility. His concern is that everyone should be doing this, not just him and that this task is not within the scope of the deployment. 23
