Eureka Area Dispatch would like to clarify that Eureka Area Dispatch, Eureka Ambulance Service, Eureka Police Department, and the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office are separate agencies with distinct responsibilities.
Eureka Area Dispatch is responsible for answering 911 calls, gathering information from callers, and notifying the appropriate emergency response agencies, including ambulance, law enforcement, fire, and other emergency resources as needed.

Once a call has been dispatched, decisions regarding staffing, resource availability, response capability, and operational actions are the responsibility of the responding agency. Dispatch does not manage ambulance operations, ambulance staffing, law enforcement staffing, or determine an agency's ability to respond to a call.
This statement is intended solely to provide accurate information about the roles of the agencies involved in emergency response and to promote public understanding of how emergency services are coordinated.

Eureka Area Dispatch remains committed to providing professional, timely, and reliable emergency communications services to the residents and visitors of our community.
