Hear from our 911 Dispatchers!
"I chose to become a 911 dispatcher because not only did I want to help my community and but I wanted a role where I could make an immediate, positive impact. Since starting my career, the satisfaction of knowing that I can assist individuals in their most critical moments has been incredibly fulfilling. Every call presents an opportunity to provide calm and effective support, ensuring that people receive the help they need when it matters most. Being a vital link between those in distress and emergency responders has reinforced my passion for serving and protecting the community I call home."

911 Dispatcher Since 2017
"I began dispatching almost 25 years ago. I always found this career to be rewarding with the impact it has on the community. Dispatching inspired me to further my career in civil service, and I became a firefighter. I now, after retirement, began dispatching full time again and have always enjoyed my time dispatching."
