#911 dispatchers go to work every day to help us cope with the worst moments of our lives. We join NENA to say #ThankYou911 and urge our dispatchers to reach out to a mental health professional if they need it. You are not alone #NBATogether #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

So incredibly proud of our Deputy Director Erin Campbell and her husband Alan (retired Wayne County Sheriff's Department Deputy). Proof that our professions are a calling and a life that we live.... not just a job that we do.

As National Public-Safety Telecommunicator Week kicks off, lets share ALL of our numbers.... While a couple of statistics were shared last week on social media, it wasn't necessarily the "big picture." ⏱☎️ = 🚓🚒🚑 #NPSTW #HeadsetHeros

There has been recent talk about our upgraded radio system. The 1st picture is what the dispatcher sees and uses to talk on the radios. However what is rarely seen are the actual radios and transceivers in the back room that the computers control. 🎙📶📢

Little-known facts about our staff.... Working 12 hour shifts, dispatching for 27 different agencies, answering 14 different administrative phone lines with 20 full-time dispatchers and 3 part-time dispatchers making up a total of 255 years of experience! #chaoscoordinators

What happens if we have to evacuate dispatch? Who answers the phones? Where do we go? Don't worry.... we've asked and prepared for the same scenarios. We have partnered with our vendors to provide portable, back-up options that can be set up virtually anywhere! #prepare

On this day, we recognize the men and women, career and volunteer firefighters, who have dedicated their lives to helping their communities. Thank you for your service to others!

The monthly outdoor warning siren test will be conducted today (Wednesday; 9/15/2021) at 12noon. THIS IS A TEST ONLY

If you have a public-safety scanner or online app, be sure to listen tomorrow night as our dispatchers have a very important additional unit to assist!

"Show me the numbers!" We reported to our Operations Board our annual report and statistics last week. Perhaps you'd like to see some of the numbers as well?

Today is the first day of National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week! Stay tuned and follow along this week to learn more about our TEAM!
