Friday, December 9, 2011, 7:30 p.m. It was a cold, drizzly night. Monitronics Emergency Dispatch Operator Heather Schneider was on duty and ready for anything when she intercepted a burglar alarm from a Weatherford, Texas, business.
It took her fractions of a second to shift into Everyday Superhero mode. She swiftly called the quaint shop. But … no answer came. Heather knew that time was of the essence. She tried to reach the shop owner at home. Heather was relieved to hear a voice on the other end of the line. She said, “We just received a burglary alarm at your business.” The shop owner asked Heather to send the police.
Almost instantly, Heather had the local police on the phone and on their way to the business.
After the emergency
Thanks to Heather’s Everyday Superhero swift action, the police arrived just in the nick of time. They found two men right in the middle of robbing the store. Of course, the bad guys were immediately arrested and received a police escort straight to jail.
