Citizens Academy
Our Citizens 911 Dispatch Class is a fun, interactive opportunity to learn more about 911 operations and the role our team plays in this community's public safety and emergency response.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THE 4-HOUR CLASS:
- Discover why we ask the questions we do, and how that information is used to determine what type of response is needed in each emergency situation.
- Discuss when it is appropriate to call 911...and when it's not!
- Sit in and observe with dispatchers, listen to actual calls, and witness how emergency response begins.
- Learn how to be the best reporting caller you can be!
HOW TO REGISTER:
