Sometimes it’s the little things... a turn signal, a little patience, a tiny choice that makes someone else’s day just a bit easier...or safer. Yours, too!

Consider this a gentle reminder from some people you may not know, but who care about you anyway. ❤️
Use your blinker.

GOOD MORNING, TALLAHASSEE-LEON COUNTY!

WE HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT!!
(And frankly, we would prefer not to lose.)

Our very own Operations Bureau Chief Stefanie Nieves and Director David Odom are stepping out from behind the scenes and onto the runway for the Leon County Sheriff's Office 2026 Patrol Stroll: ALLin for a Cure! 💗
Yes. A runway.

And we need YOU.

Stefanie and David are raising money in support of the fight against breast cancer, and every dollar donated counts as a vote.
So naturally, we have established a very reasonable and completely modest goal:

RAISE. THE. MOST. MONEY. EVER.

Because breast cancer has touched far too many families in our community...Because supporting the people fighting it matters... The runway makes it fun, but the purpose behind every step is what makes it matter.

Donate to Stefanie.

Donate to David.

Donate to both.

Good afternoon, Tallahassee-Leon County!

Please help us congratulate Kristi Walker, our September Employee of the Month!

Kristi was recognized by her peers for the kind of leadership that matters around here: stepping up without hesitation, investing in the success of others, and creating a space where people feel supported, valued and given every opportunity to succeed. Her nominations describe someone known not only for her professionalism and adaptability, but for her kindness, patience and willingness to be there when others need her.
Did you know? Our Employee of the Month isn't actually selected by us. Nominations are submitted anonymously to representatives from our Public Safety Partners, who select the recipient based solely on the merit of the nomination.
In other words, Kristi's work spoke for itself.

(Congratulations, Kristi! Thank you for investing in the people around you and helping them become their best. That's Love in Action...we love you, too!)

Good afternoon, Tallahassee-Leon County!

Did you know that caring well for you means caring well for each other, too?

Because mental health, wellness and resilience reach across the entire first responder community, our Behavioral Health & Wellness Coordinator, Kim Powell, recently joined FDLE for its two-day Law Enforcement Clinician Awareness Training.

Through evidence-based learning, realistic scenarios and critical-incident debriefings, the training focused on better understanding and supporting those who spend their careers helping others.
For Kim, the experience reinforced why that work matters:
“This experience reinforced the value of continued learning and collaboration, as well as my appreciation for the critical work performed by our CDA members and first responder communities.”

(Thank you, Kim, for helping us take care of the people behind the mission!)

Good morning, Tallahassee-Leon County!

A little more about where we’re headed and, more importantly, why.

When a member of our community calls for help...when YOU call for help... the goal is not simply to send a response. It is to understand the need well enough to send the response the moment requires, as soon as humanly possible.

Our Drones as First Responders (DFR) program is another way to close that gap. Seeing sooner helps us understand sooner and make better-informed decisions about what and who we send.

The technology may be new. The responsibility is not.

Learn more about your Tallahassee-Leon County Consolidated Dispatch Agency’s DFR program:

The Tallahassee-Leon County Consolidated Dispatch Agency (CDA) is developing a Drones as First Responders (DFR) program to provide real-time information in response to certain 9-1-1 calls.

Good evening, Tallahassee-Leon County!

Last night, the City of Tallahassee Police Department's Fall Citizens Police Academy class stopped by to visit and we may have let them peek behind the curtain a little. 👀

They came to learn about the 9-1-1 Emergency Communications Family and left knowing a whole bunch of things they didn’t know they didn’t know. Calls, radios, technology, coordination, controlled chaos...and the people who somehow make all those moving pieces work together. A great time was had by all!

The coolest part? You can get in on this, too! TPD’s Citizens Police Academy gives community members a behind-the-scenes look at the people and work of the Tallahassee Police Department and you even get to come visit us! The program is offered in the spring and fall at no cost to participants. Learn more here: https://www.talgov.com/publicsafety/tpd-cpapp

One of the best ways to understand the people who serve your community is to come see what they actually do...and we truly appreciate it when you do! After all, informed opinions are far more valuable than the ones we borrow or simply pick up along the way.

Thank you for spending some of your time with us. Time is love, after all, and we’re always grateful for the opportunity to share ours with you. 💛

Last Friday, the First Responder Family of Tallahassee-Leon County gathered for our annual 9/11 Memorial Walk.

And it poured.

From Chiefs in Class A uniforms and local government leaders to the boots on the ground, everyone was soaked from head to toe. People stopped their vehicles to watch as we walked through the rain.

Walking in the pouring rain is not something most people would choose to do.

But neither is running toward...and into...a burning, collapsing building.

We walked to remember those who did. We walked to honor the First Responders who answered the call that morning, including the Emergency Communications professionals who answered call after call, knowing the news wasn't good, offering reassurance and comfort to people they knew might not make it home and, for some, becoming the last voice they would ever hear.

Twenty-five years later, we still remember.

And we will never forget. 🇺🇸

Good afternoon, Tallahassee-Leon County!

Looking for a little good old-fashioned fun tomorrow? Come help us cheer on the Battle of the Badges!

Does it really matter who wins? Of course not. 😏
It’s all about working together, having a little fun and... purely as a matter of public interest...settling the question of who gets the bragging rights this year.

(And yes, it’s “flag-n-tag,” of course... these guys do have to report for their next shift!) 🚓🚒

Good afternoon, Tallahassee Leon County!

Some moments remind you just how special it is to be part of something bigger (...and thankfully, it doesn't always take a crisis to bring your Public Safety Family together)!

Members of the CDA Family were honored to join our Public Safety Partners for the 2026 First Responder Appreciation Luncheon, hosted by the Leon County Sheriff's Office.

Year after year, LCSO makes the time and creates the space to bring our First Responder community together, because the relationships that carry us through the hard days deserve to be nurtured on the good ones, too.

We are grateful for the tradition and for the hands and hearts that make it happen!

With legendary Coach Sue Semrau as Guest Emcee and Florida State Senator Corey Simon as Guest Speaker, it was a wonderful reminder of what connects us all: service, purpose, and community.

Thank you, Leon County Sheriff's Office, for once again bringing the Family together.

Different uniforms. One Family. One Mission.
