The first dispatcher we want to celebrate is Sawyer Woodsmall! Sawyer has been with us 3 years. When Sawyer applied, he was looking into a detention spot. I (Krista) sat in on the interview, and once they took him back for his tour of the jail, I just knew he needed to be in dispatch. Best decision ever!! He’s my right hand man. Keeps the calm in the chaos. He was the first one to administer CPR instructions right after we implemented the program to do so. When he’s not working, he’s being a girl dad to two amazing little ladies and I know he loves spending time with his beautiful wife. His family is number 1. Thank you Sawyer, for everything. 🖤💛 ...

Today starts the beginning of the week long celebration of all 911 tele-communicators. We have a week dedicated to celebrating them, yet these folks should be celebrated daily! They are the calm during your most chaotic time in your life. We get to share laughs with people that panic when they accidentally call 911. We also take the screaming that some folks to when they’re upset with a situation, yet we stick with it and provide assistance. We answer emergency and non-emergency lines. We transfer calls all through the office. Operate all the doors in the building. Eat our lunch at our desk. The one who sets off the tones sending their EMS, Fire, and Law Enforcement into situations where we sit on pins and needles keeping them as safe as possible. There is always someone there 24/7, waiting to assist you. I can’t wait to share the amazing humans we have here in our very own Kiowa County, Kansas. The ones that show up every single day to make sure when you need help, it gets there. Happy National Tele-Communications Week to all our fellow dispatchers as well. We appreciate you. We see you! ... See MoreSee Less

Starting Sunday, April 14th to Saturday, April 20th, stop by! Come say hello. If you have kiddos and they want to draw a picture or a coloring page, please drop them off! We will display them proudly. Nothing is too small. Snacks are always a good time too! We love serving our community and look forward to seeing or hearing from all of you. Thank you for allowing us to be there for you. There are six dispatchers total. There are two different shifts. Monday, a Tuesday and Friday will be someone on during the day and night. Wednesday and Thursday will be the other shift! ... See MoreSee Less
