I love being a dispatcher because I care about the men and women in uniform, and will always do my very best to make sure they go home . I know at any given moment someone’s life can change and if I can be that voice that makes a difference, then my time is well worth it .
Everyday is different whether it’s good or bad. I get to help many people on a daily basis and it’s rewarding knowing I’m helping my community. My officers and deputies are important, as well as Fire and First responders. It is my job to make sure their day goes as well as possible and that they go home safe at the end of their shifts or calls.
