The kind words, encouragement and thanks meant the world to us. If I missed anyone please let me know and I will be happy to put it in this post, as we had so many people showing us appreciation. We would never want to skip out on thanking anyone! We appreciate each and every person that made us feel special. Thank you all to a wonderful community! It is an honor to dispatch for this county.

This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Appreciation Week. I just want to take a moment to thank all dispatchers past and present and to send a very special shout-out to all my dispatchers here at Ohio County 911. They consistently go above and beyond the call of duty for their agency and their community. They are there for people on the worst day of their lives, and hear things they will never be able to unhear, yet they show up every single day. I appreciate them not only this week but every day. If you see a dispatcher out and about this week thank them for their service or come see us and talk to us and ask questions! We are proud to serve our community!

Thank you Ohio County Dispatchers!!!
