This week we celebrate not only National Telecommunicators Week, but also the life of Police Dispatcher Margie Garcia whom we tragically lost on April 13, 2019, as the result of a motor vehicle accident.
No matter what has happened, who’s aggravated at who, or what’s warming up in the microwave the instant something happens that is not a “normal” sounding call we all hunker down.
We are a recently consolidated center in Montgomery County, Virginia. We dispatch 4 law enforcement agencies and 11 fire and rescue agencies.
Our main center was damaged In Hurricane Florence. My team has adjusted to working in a much smaller space and we still handle emergency calls with professionalism.
First – thank you ALL, a tremendous collaboration of absolutely amazing people, in all parts. You are your community’s unsung heroes.
Everyone within this agency is a critical link in the emergency lifeline to providing a service to the community we serve.
