User:Iadmc/(factsheet) Murder of Denise Amber Lee/The aftermath

The Foundation

Lee's husband Nathan Lee and her father Rick Goff lobbied in Tallahassee to get Denise's Law passed, which recommended training for all 9-1-1 dispatchers.

Due to the two mishandled 9-1-1 calls in this case, more research revealed several issues countrywide in the 9-1-1 system, so a non-profit organization with the mission to "To promote and support public safety through uniform training, standardized protocols, defined measurable outcomes, and technological advances in the 9-1-1 system." was established in June 2008 in Lee's name. Her husband and father continue to manage the Foundation, along with many other notable community leaders from the region.

Comments on above text

• The facts need to be massively expansed upon: enormous amounts of work have been done both by the family and the authorities to address the various failings, In particular:

1. Denise Amber Lee Act and potential further FL State Law
   • Former is voluntary; latter would seek to make certification and training mandatory for all 9-1-1 call takers and dispatchers in FL
   • New section needed to discuss these developments
2. Denise Amber Lee Foundation
   • Clear but needs minor copyediting and rewording
3. Sponsorship of same by Gulf Coast Community Foundation of Venice
   • Needs adding and citing as an important fact
4. Parallel developments in other countries/states etc
   • Need looking into and adding if relevent. Eg, there was a similar situation in Australia recently

Criticism of above text

• Some near-WP:POV needs to be rebalanced or better phrased eg "Due to the two mishandled 9-1-1 calls in this case"
• First paragraph not obviously connected to second paragraph in a casual reading; connection needs clarification
