☎️ SUPPORTING EMERGENCY DISPATCH SERVICES

When someone calls 911 in Lander County, there is much more happening behind the scenes than many people realize.

Dispatchers help coordinate emergency response across the county by:
🚔 Dispatching law enforcement officers
🚒 Dispatching fire personnel
🚑 Coordinating EMS response
📻 Monitoring multiple radio channels
☎️ Answering emergency and non-emergency calls
🏢 Helping maintain security at county facilities

At its June 17 meeting, the Lander County Commission approved temporary scheduling changes to help support dispatch operations while recruitment efforts continue.

Undersheriff Robert Quick told commissioners that dispatchers handle a wide range of responsibilities and are often responsible for managing multiple tasks at once.
💬 “Our dispatchers not only oversee security for the entire building… they dispatch for fire, EMS… take 911 calls… and they have multiple radio channels that they have to monitor.”

Commissioners approved the temporary measure to help ensure continued support for these essential public safety services.

Thank you to the dispatchers and emergency communications professionals who help serve our communities 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 👏
