CommunicationsSheriff's Dispatchers are the direct link, the backbone if you will, of Operations. They are responsible for the receipt, processing and dispatching of all calls for service, to all emergency services for Coffey County. Dispatchers have the only office in County Government that has to be open, with someone on duty, every minute of every day. Those services include but are not limited to;
as well as contact, and interaction with outside agencies, on the State, and Federal level. Coffey County Communications is equipped with enhanced 911 System equipment, and has the ability to receive 911 calls from wireless providers in the area. Dispatchers monitor color weather radar, and Weather channels for threatening weather. They are trained to retrieve information for public safety, officer safety, as well as identification information, contained in the states ASTRA network, and the National systems NLETS and NCIC. Dispatchers are responsible for a large percentage of data entry of arrest, criminal and accident reports. Dispatchers also enter the Activity Information found at our web site. Our 7 full time Dispatchers, and 1 part time Dispatcher, are all trained in most types of call taking. All are certified Emergency Medical Dispatchers, and have continued training in many areas of emergency response. Also Dispatchers act as matrons, when the situation warrants. ![]() |
