Dover, Delaware Dispatchers Get Strange Call — Minutes Later, An Active Rescue Is Underway in the English Channel
Police dispatchers in Delaware’s capital city are being lauded for helping direct rescuers to a boat foundering in the English Channel, thousands of miles away.
Dispatchers for the city of Dover found themselves at the center of an international rescue effort last month after receiving a call from an Albanian man who thought he was calling emergency personnel in Dover, England.
The mix-up happened Aug. 27, when the man learned that his brother’s boat was sinking in the English Channel, according to Delaware authorities.
