As a Public Safety Dispatch Center, we are here to serve the community  24 hours a day 7 days a week.  We receive information from the public and from emergency services personnel (police, fire, medical, and wildlife), at a public safety answering point.  This is commonly referred to as a 911 center.  The job involves the operation of complex communication equipment; including but not limited to a two-way radio, multi-line telephone systems and computers.

Both emergency and non-emergency calls are handled and field personnel are dispatched to a variety of calls.  The Telecommunicator must have thorough knowledge of the local geography, and understanding of needs and equipment, and be able to work within department policy and procedures.  Problem solving and decision making skills, with minimum supervision, are also required.  Records of transmissions received and or transmitted must be accurate, as well as constant status of all field operations.  The Telecommunicator must also be able to perform simultaneous functions.

The Communications Department is based on serving the community and practices a high set of standards to protect the social integrity of our people while exercising the right to uphold social laws.
