Communications
The vital link between the citizen and the law enforcement officer and/or fire
personnel is the Dispatch Center. This unit is led up by a Senior Dispatcher, who
answers to the department Captain . A staff of five dispatchers are divided into two
shifts and one overlapping shift. These dispatchers field calls from the public 24
hours a day, seven days a week, covering a full range of law enforcement services
from dispatching routine parking related problems to life and death emergencies.

9-1-1 calls are answered in this unit with the appropriate Emergency Services
personnel dispatched to the scene. It is the goal of the Communications Unit to
assure citizens that their needs are met promptly and professionally.
