Steuben County DA Brooks Baker is apologizing after the Chemung County 911 released audio of a phone call where Baker is heard berating and cursing at a dispatcher.
Baker called 911 after picking up a dog off I-86 and was looking to connect with Animal Control.
After what Baker calls a “tense phone call” between Baker’s wife and a male dispatcher, Baker spoke with a female dispatcher in the audio released on Facebook.
While discussing with the dispatcher where he can hand off the dog, Baker became agitated and cursed at the dispatcher four times in a two minute phone call, saying he’s the “G–D— Steuben County DA” and calling the situation “B—s—.”
Brooks spoke with 18 News on the phone after the audio was released, saying “unfortunately my temper may have gotten the better of me” and that he received an apology from the Chemung County Sheriff’s Office.
Chemung County Sheriff Bill Schrom tells 18 News he did not talk with Baker.

Another lying politician...
“Don’t you know who I am?
Sheesh.
I’m with the DA on this one
Just for clarification, when I said “bitch” I was referring to the dog....
Now that 911 exists, there is no easy way to get ahold of proper authorities for non emergency police issues.
For instance, I got rear ended in a car accident in the Cincinnati suburbs. It wasn’t an emergency since no one was hurt. So I tried a local municipality PD that I thought I was in. Had to google their phone number. They tell me not their jurisdiction but would not directly connect me to the correct guys.
I called them and they too said “not us“ and to call a third municipality but gave me the number!
Turns out it was a strip of Township I was in and needed the County Sheriff deputies.
I was getting pissed and the govt employees all acted offended that I was bothering them.
The US needs a localized 811 system for non emergency calls.
bttt
Well I'm not, the Chemung County dispatcher was very polite until she informed him that the animal control would not go into Steuben County since it was out of their jurisdiction. That's when he got pissed off....
He's a DA, he should know that............
No, it was the 911 operator who was at fault.
The DA should keep the dog. We kept the one sitting beside me right now. Most of ours come to us that way.
Even when you call the non-emergency number it’s never their responsibility and they pass you on and on and on and on until you give up because no one wants to accept responsibility and do their job. BTDT.
