Help needed with research

[atm009]

Hello everyone,

I am a researcher in Pennsylvannia studying 911 call data. WThe team I work with has recently begun a project in which we need full-length audio from guilty individuals who call 911 to report a missing person. For example, a person might call to say their significant other is missing, in reality, the caller is guilty of the crime. If you know of any helpful resources for locating 911 calls, specific cases, actual audio, etc., please let me know in the comments below. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Is there a national professional association for dispatchers? Might be an expedient place to ask.

This is probably something you are already privy to, but I found it might be useful. ETA: It breaks down each State’s law concerning the release of 911 call tapes.

With certain types of research -- university studies, law enforcement studies, investigative journalists, a publishing house supporting an author, a dispatcher's professional association may be able to provide access to the requested material.

Nosy folks like us, not so much, for good reason.

Now most of what I know about the FBI Academy is courtesy of Clarice Starling followed by Mulder & Scully then Criminal Minds, but I expect the students there (or program graduates) are familiar with these sorts of calls.
