Recall is due to ‘dramatically understaffed’ 911 dispatch center
Brian Carder spent 17 years with the North Chicago Police Department — and his tenure with the force took a toll on his body, WBBM-TV reported.
“I got hit by a car once,” he told the station. “Well, actually twice.”
Carder said he suffered a broken hand, broken collarbone, “a couple concussions,” and underwent two hip replacements as an officer, WBBM reported.
Finally he was diagnosed with PTSD in 2009 and approved for a line-of-duty disability pension — his only source of income — and health benefits, the station said.
