Fremont County 911 Communications

09/03/2026

Behind every 911 call is a person. A family. A story. And sometimes, someone who simply needs to know they are not alone.

As 911 dispatchers, we often meet people in some of their darkest moments. We may never see their faces, but we hear their voices. We stay on the line. We remind them that help is coming.

Please know this: we would rather talk to you.

We would rather answer your call, listen to your story, and stay on the line with you for as long as you need than have a call come in when it’s too late.

You are never a burden for asking for help. Your life is worth the call.

Check on your people. Listen without judgment. Take the signs seriously. And never be afraid to reach out, for yourself or for someone you love.

Call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Call (307)332-5611 to be able to talk to a dispatcher.

If there is an immediate danger or emergency, call 911.

Fremont County 911 Communications would like to extend a huge thank you to ExxonMobil for the opportunity to participate in this week’s multi-agency emergency response training.

Exercises like this give our dispatchers the opportunity to work alongside the responders and agencies we communicate with every day, strengthen those relationships, and better prepare for the moments when teamwork matters most.

Thank you to ExxonMobil for hosting such a great training and to all of our local, state, and industry partners who took part. We’re grateful for the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and continue building a stronger emergency response network for Fremont County.

TRAINING TOGETHER. PREPARING TOGETHER. PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITY.

On Wednesday, August 26, members of the Fremont County Fire Protection District had the opportunity to train alongside employees of ExxonMobil and numerous local, state, and industry partners.

This multi-agency exercise focused on the management of a potential emergency scenario and utilized the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command System (ICS). Training like this gives responding agencies and industry partners the opportunity to work side by side, strengthen communication, coordinate resources, and prepare for incidents that could impact our community.

Participating agencies and partners included:

• ExxonMobil
• Fremont County Fire Protection District
• Fremont County Sheriff’s Office
• Fremont County Dispatch Center
• Fremont County Emergency Management
• Guardian Flight Wyoming
• Riverton Police Department
• SageWest Health Care
• Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality
• Wyoming Office of Homeland Security
• Johnson County Emergency Management
• The Salvation Army
• Other industry partners

We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to come together with our fellow responding agencies and industry experts. Exercises like this allow us to build relationships before an emergency happens, learn from one another, and better prepare for events that could affect OUR community.

A huge thank you to ExxonMobil and everyone who participated for their time, knowledge, and commitment to emergency preparedness.

When agencies train together, we are better prepared to respond together

A huge thank you to everyone who came out for our Dispatch Cookout! It was so nice to step away from the consoles for a little while, spend time together, laugh, eat some good food, and simply enjoy each other’s company outside of the everyday.

We also owe a BIG thank you to our part-time guys, Kenny and Brandon, for holding down the center and keeping everything running. We appreciate you more than you know!

We’re incredibly proud of where this team is headed and the culture we’re creating together. We hope this Dispatch Cookout is just the first of many and becomes a tradition we look forward to every year!

MEET THE TEAM - OWEN “O-TOWN” SULLIVAN

Or, as Owen describes himself, the “Ol’ Man of the Communications Division.” And with 36 years of total law enforcement experience, he’s earned the title!

Owen has spent the last 16 years right here serving with the Fremont County 911 Communications center as a dispatcher.

Owen and his wife have been married for 39 years, and he proudly calls her his best friend and the person who has stood beside him and supported him through it all. Together, they enjoy spending as much time as possible with their family. His three granddaughters and one grandson keep him busy, entertained, and as he puts it, occasionally worn out!

When he isn’t in dispatch or keeping up with the grandkids, you’ll likely find Owen hunting or fishing with his two boys and simply enjoying time together.

For Owen, life comes back to a few things that matter most: family, faith, and keeping God at the center of it all.

We’re pretty lucky to have the “Ol’ Man” and his 36 years of experience behind one of our consoles.
