POLICE DISPATCH SERVICES
The 911 Communications Center is the dispatch center for every police, fire, and ambulance agency in Washington County as well
as being the 911 center for the public. Thousands of 911 calls are received as well as many more non-emergency calls which are
disseminated from the Communications Center to the appropriate agency. Dispatch personnel are Emergency Medical Dispatch
(EMD) certified and attend prescribed training programs to maintain their national and state certifications. The 911 Communications
Center is funded both by a 911 surcharge assessed against phone users and also funded by other municipal and emergency
agencies who use the Center's services.
