As we wrap up another month of training opportunities, we wanted to take a moment to recap the trainings we participated in and thank everyone who took the time to attend and participate.

This past month, we had the opportunity to attend Technical Rescue and High Angle Rescue Trainings with Thomasville Fire, and Live Burn training with Lexington Fire Department at Millers Ferry Fire Department.

These trainings provided great opportunities to see different rescue operations, strengthen our knowledge of what happens out in the field, and continue building relationships with the agencies we work with every day.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and represented 911 during these trainings. Your involvement is what makes these opportunities valuable, and we truly appreciate everyone who continues to make the effort to get out there and learn alongside our responders.

Thank you to Thomasville Fire & Rescue for allowing our communications personnel to participate in Monday's Mutual Aid Boat Operations Training!!

This training provided a great opportunity for our telecommunicators to gain firsthand insight into the challenges and operations our field responders face during water rescue incidents. Building this understanding helps strengthen communication, enhances teamwork, and ultimately improves the service we provide to our community.

A special thank you to everyone at Thomasville Fire Department who took the time to answer questions, explain procedures, and make our personnel feel welcome. We truly appreciate your willingness to include us.

I also want to thank everyone from the 911 Center who took time out of their busy lives to attend this training. Your participation and eagerness to learn are exactly what the Responder Relations & Education Committee hopes to encourage. These experiences are invaluable and help strengthen the partnership between us and our responders!

This National EMS Week, Davidson County 911 wants to thank the incredible crews at Davidson County EMS for everything they do for our community.

No matter the call or the situation, they show up ready to help. They serve with professionalism, compassion, and dedication every single day.

We are especially thankful this week after yesterday’s accident involving one of our own Telecommunicators. Davidson County EMS responded quickly and handled the call with care, calmness, and professionalism from start to finish. Seeing our partners take care of one of our own meant more than words can say.

We also want to thank Tyro Fire Department for their support and teamwork on scene. Moments like this remind us how strong public safety partnerships are in Davidson County.

From all of us at Davidson County 911, thank you for what you do every day. We appreciate you and we are proud to work alongside you.

Today, our Cheers to Peers Team Lead, Haleigh, and our Responder Relations Team Lead, Karly — along with her sweet daughter — spent the day delivering cookies to all of our law enforcement agencies across Davidson County.

This small gesture could never fully express the gratitude we have for the men and women who serve and protect our communities every single day. Your dedication, sacrifice, and commitment do not go unnoticed.

During National Police Week and every week beyond, we want you to know how thankful we are for each of you. Davidson County is stronger and safer because of your service.

After 7 years of dedicated service as our 911 Director, Rob Wilson has officially retired from Davidson County 911 Communications. Throughout his time with our agency, Rob continually encouraged us to grow, improve, and strive for excellence while always supporting the people behind the scenes who serve our community every day.

His leadership, commitment to public safety, and vision for our center have left a lasting impact on our agency, our staff, and our public safety partners. Rob pushed us to be better and always reminded us of the importance of the work we do.

While we will greatly miss his leadership and presence in our center, we are thankful for the years he dedicated to Davidson County and the positive influence he had on so many people.

Included are photos from Rob’s retirement celebration and his final call over the radio — a moment that marked the end of an important chapter in our agency’s history.

Please join us in thanking Rob Wilson for his service and wishing him a long, happy, and well-deserved retirement.
