Wyoming County Sheriff's
Office
Warsaw, New York |
||||||||
|
Communications Division
|
||||||||
| This is the backbone of the agency while also providing communications for many agencies. The eight full time dispatchers not only do all the dispatching for the Sheriff's patrols, but also for the four Village Police Departments. | ||||||||
| They also
routinely assist State Police as needed. All 911 calls in Wyoming County
are answered by these professionals and all the fire and rescue calls for
the entire County are dispatched from this division. For all 911 emergency
calls, the Sheriff and State Police patrols are polled for their location
and the closest car(s) is always sent to the emergency. There are two Dispatchers
assigned to every shift. The dispatchers are certified Emergency Medical
Dispatchers so in the event of a medical emergency, they will assist and
instruct a caller of what and how to assist someone who is having a medical
emergency. As you might imagine, during times of storm, serious crime, accident
or fire, the communications center can become extremely hectic.
