We had a Great time at Dewitt's Night out Event. We want to thank Chief Porter and his team for allowing us to educate his community on the importance of 911. We were able to educate alot of children on

1. Understanding what constitutes an emergency
2. How to access help
3. What information is needed and how to find it.

This education allows our community to understand the importance of 911 and gives them confidence in knowing what response they will get during an emergency.

Thank you to this wonderful team for taking the time to teach our young people and to re-teach our adults.

With deep sadness, the Clinton County Communications Center announces the unexpected passing of 911 Dispatcher Marcia DeBoer.

Marcia dedicated more than 30 years to serving the public as a public safety dispatcher, including the past 24 years with Clinton County Communications. Throughout her career, she exemplified professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to serving others.

Those who had the privilege of working alongside Marcia knew her for the calm, steady presence she brought to every shift. She approached every call with kindness, patience, and genuine care, providing reassurance to people experiencing some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Her dedication and service made a lasting impact on our agency, our public safety partners, and the citizens of Clinton County.

Please keep Marcia's family, friends, and her Clinton County Communications family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

We are grateful for Marcia's years of dedicated service and the lasting impact she made on our agency and the community we proudly serve. She will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

As we wrap up National Telecommunicators Week, I want to take a moment to reflect on what was truly a great week for Clinton County Communications. Throughout the week, we celebrated the dedication, professionalism, and heart that our telecommunicators bring to the console every single day. From handling critical incidents to providing calm reassurance during someone’s worst moment, this team continues to represent the very best of public safety.

We saw strong engagement across the board—with team activities, friendly competition, and a lot of well-deserved recognition. More importantly, we saw connection. The conversations, the laughter, and the support shared among the team are exactly what strengthens our culture and makes this such a great place to serve.

A very special thank you goes out to the Low Moor Fire Department. Chief Hoenig and his staff went above and beyond in providing our team with an unexpected and incredibly thoughtful surprise Saturday, filled with delicious treats and creative artwork. Your kindness and generosity far exceeded expectations. Seeing the smiles across the room said it all.

It’s moments like these that remind us how fortunate we are to serve alongside such outstanding partners. What a wonderful county we serve.

Thank you again to everyone who made this week memorable—and most importantly, thank you to our telecommunicators for everything you do.
