All emergency responses originate at our joint Emergency Communications Center (ECC) fielded by both Fire and Law Enforcement personnel.

With the ECC being the public's lifeline to our services, it is imperative that our dispatchers receive/provide prompt and accurate information as well as remain highly trained professionals.
