Calling 9-1-1

 

Dallas County 911 is proud to serve the community and proud to provide communication support in times of emergencies. The Dallas County 911 dispatchers are trained extensively to handle an array of emergency situations. Dispatchers realize that they are not immediately affected by an emergency; however, it is important for callers to remain calm when a calling 911. 

 

Most people only dial 9-1-1 once or twice in their lifetimes. This experience can be frightening. It is important to remember that the job of dispatchers is to gather the necessary information to make appropriate decisions and to send the correct emergency personnel for the situation.
