🚑 Vance County EMS: Crisis Intervention Training

Members of Vance County EMS recently participated in a 40-hour Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) course to further strengthen their skills in recognizing, understanding, and responding to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis.

This training provides valuable tools to help our EMS providers better communicate with individuals in crisis, recognize behavioral health needs, and provide compassionate, effective, and appropriate care when it matters most.

At Vance County EMS, we are committed to continuous education and training to better serve the citizens of our community. We recognize that every call is different, and having the knowledge and skills to navigate challenging situations safely and compassionately makes a difference.

Thank you to everyone involved in providing this training and to our members for their continued dedication to professional growth and serving our community! 🚑

🚨VERIZON Service Outage🚨

We have received reports that Verizon customers may be having issues placing and receiving calls. Verizon is aware and working to remedy the issue.

In the meantime, you can utilize WiFi calling to place a 911 call when connected to a WiFi network. To enable this go to your phone’s settings, find the search bar, enter “WiFi calling”, and set it to “on”. Should this not work please use another carrier device or ask someone else to make a call for you if possible.

If you have an emergency and are unable to make a call, you can also attempt to text 911. SMS messages use less data than phone calls and this could allow the message to come through.

All services for Vance County 911 remain fully operational, this is limited to a carrier issue.
