9-1–1 Fact Friday: The only phones we are unable to call back are disconnected cell phones without a service plan. That’s why it’s important not to let you kids play with old phones in which the power turns on. #911factfriday

To our friends of 9-1-1, the Fourth of July is one of the busiest days of the year for 9-1-1 call centers. Please use 9-1-1 for emergencies only and contact the non-emergent line to report illegal fireworks (in which there is not an immediate threat to life or property).

While working as a Firefighter/EMT, Diann Pritchard was always curious to know what happened on the other side of the radio. And so when she saw an ad for a dispatch position, she seized the opportunity. Now, she's the Comm. Manager at Cripple Creek PD and on the Authority Board!

9-1-1 Fact Friday: 100% of Cripple Creek’s 9-1-1 calls are reviewed. For agencies that answer under one hundred 9-1-1 calls a month, all 9-1-1 calls are reviewed, leaving no room for error to stay accredited. Way to go Cripple Creek! #911factfriday #911facts

We had dual events last Friday at the El Paso County Fair and Woodland Park Farmers Market. Make sure you’re registered for emergency alerts by going to peakalerts.org and downloading the #Everbridge app. #peakalerts #emergencyalerts
