Dispatchers Save Seconds........Seconds Save Lives

Dispatchers are a vital link between the community and emergency personnel. A dispatcher is the first person that you speak with when you call the Police Department or 911, and are the ones that send help in the time of an emergency. Whether you need Police, Fire, or Emergency Medical Services the dispatchers are responsible to get that service to you.

We Are Always Here For You

Dispatchers are here to serve and protect just like Police Officers. One way they do this is by being that listening ear on the other end of the phone we you are in need of help. Whether someone is breaking into your house, or you have an unwanted person at your door, dispatchers are trained to know what information to relate to the Police Officers responding to your emergency and to give you instructions to keep you safe until Police get there to help.

At any given time the dispatchers of the Maumelle Police Department may be found answering multiple phones, using up to three computers at a time, communicating with Police and Fire on separate radio channels, and logging it all into the computer aided dispatch. All of this is done “behind the scenes” and often goes overlooked. Although this job has high stress levels at times, we realize that dispatchers are.........................THE CALM DURING THE STORM

REMEMBER: ONLY CALL 9-1-1 IN AN EMERGENCY
