🚨📞 LAWRENCE COUNTY E911 DISPATCH — COMMUNITY OUTREACH 📞🚨

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to Lawrence Allison Fire Protection District for inviting Lawrence County E911 Dispatch to participate in their field trip and speak with students about the important role of 911 dispatchers!

During our visit, we had the opportunity to educate students about what happens when someone calls 911, the responsibilities of a dispatcher, and the importance of providing accurate information during an emergency. Students also participated in mock 911 calls, giving them a hands-on opportunity to experience what it is like to call for help during an emergency.

A special shout-out to our dispatchers who answered the mock calls and performed a tone drop, allowing students to experience a more realistic look into the world of emergency dispatching! Amazing job bringing the experience to life and showing these students just how important the role of a dispatcher is! 👏🎧

We are incredibly thankful for opportunities like this to connect with our community, educate the next generation, and show students the teamwork and dedication that go into keeping our community safe. Community outreach and 911 education are important parts of what we do, and we are grateful to be included in such a wonderful experience!

Thank you again to Lawrence Allison Fire Protection District for the invitation and for giving us the opportunity to be part of this experience! We look forward to continuing to build relationships, educate our community, and make a difference beyond the dispatch center. 💙

🚑🍼 Dispatcher Recognition: Stork Pin Award 🍼🚑

We are proud to recognize three of our dispatchers for receiving a Stork Pin in recognition of assisting with a baby delivery over the phone! 👏💙

(One of our dispatchers that received this award is currently at college!)

Our dispatchers are often the calm voice on the other end of the line during some of life’s most stressful and unforgettable moments. Providing instructions, reassurance, and support during an unexpected delivery takes patience, professionalism, and the ability to remain calm under pressure.

We would also like to thank our EMS personnel for recognizing our dispatcher’s efforts and presenting this special pin. This recognition highlights the teamwork between dispatch and EMS and the important role our telecommunicators play in helping save lives and bring new life into the world. 💙🚑

Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition! We are proud of the dedication and compassion our dispatchers bring to every call. 💙

📻😂 HAPPY 10-9 DAY! 😂📻

It’s 10-9 Day! The day officers ask dispatch to repeat themselves, and dispatch asks officers to repeat themselves… and somehow we still manage to communicate! 🤣🎧

Here’s to the officer-dispatcher relationship built on trust, teamwork, a little sarcasm, and saying “10-9?” about 47 times a shift! 😂🚔

Behind every officer on the road is a dispatcher keeping an ear on the radio and their back covered from behind the headset. 💙

Happy 10-9 Day from Lawrence County E911 Dispatch! We may not always speak the same language, but we’re always on the same team! 💙📻🚔
