Public Safety Communications

We are the Voice of 9-1-1

The Public Safety Communications Bureau is comprised of highly trained and caring people who provide quality service. They support citizens, officers and firefighters by demonstrating compassion, a desire to serve, professional conduct, and comprehensive knowledge and ability. Their job requires the mental toughness and courage to face challenging situations. While others are in distress, they must suspend their emotions in order to be successful. To the dispatcher, being successful means saving lives or helping apprehend a criminal.

Emergencies: Dial 9-1-1

Non-Emergencies:

• Police 783-4421
• Fire    783-4461

When seconds count... count on the dispatcher.
