August kept our dispatchers & responders busy! 📞🚓🚑🚒

During the month of August, our communications center handled thousands of calls for service for law enforcement, EMS, and fire — including a significant number that came directly through 9-1-1.

Every number represents someone who needed help, information, or a response from responders. Behind every call is a dispatcher working to gather the right information, send the right resources, and keep responders and callers connected.

We’re proud to serve our community 24/7, 365 days a year — because emergencies don’t exactly believe in office hours. 💛

📊 August Call Volume
🚓 Law: 4,187 — 2,272 from 9-1-1
🚑 EMS: 815 — 409 from 9-1-1
🚒 Fire: 448 — 404 from 9-1-1

Thank you to our dispatchers and all of our responders for another busy month of answering the call!
