Bakersfield Police Release 911 Audio to Debunk Viral TikTok Claims

The Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) has released the full audio of a 911 call in response to a viral TikTok video alleging a rude dispatcher. The video, posted by a user named Natalie Mount (@somegirlnat) on February 11, 2026, garnered over 8.6 million views and 1.4 million likes, claiming a negative experience with a Bakersfield 911 operator.

The TikTok Allegation

In her TikTok video, Natalie accused a dispatcher of being “stupid” and using abusive language, stating, “If you’re in Bakersfield and you’ve ever called 911 then you probably got the same stupid b**** operator.” She further directed abusive language at the operator, questioning their attitude while on the call.

BPD Response and Audio Release

Responding to the viral claims, the BPD initiated an internal review and released the unedited audio from the call, which originally occurred on November 4, 2021. The department aimed for transparency in addressing the allegations.

What the Audio Reveals

The released audio presents a different narrative than the one portrayed on TikTok. The initial four-minute clip shows the dispatcher calmly collecting details regarding a reported domestic violence incident. Following this, three subsequent calls were made by different dispatchers to Natalie, attempting to coordinate contact with her after she had left the initial location and waited several hours. The dispatcher sought to send an officer to her home.

When Natalie expressed reluctance, citing concerns about her parents’ reaction to a police visit, and indicated she wanted to “call it off,” the dispatcher explained that, due to the nature of the domestic violence report, they were unable to do so. The dispatcher then provided the police station’s hours of operation, offering Natalie the option to file a report in person.

BPD Statement and Employee Clarification

The BPD stated, “In each of these calls, our call-takers provided courteous and professional communication consistent with the service expectations of our organizations.”

Police officials also clarified that several BPD employees had been falsely accused and “doxxed” online, but none of them were involved in the 2021 call in question.
