Tour: Ada County Sheriff’s Office 911 Emergency Dispatch Center

Tour: Ada County Sheriff’s Office 911 Emergency Dispatch Center

So often, the first thing anyone in crisis does is call – or text – 911. No response after that is possible without an Ada County Sheriff’s Office dispatcher on the other end.

Law enforcement, fire crews, paramedics – none can exist efficiently without the communications system and support from our dispatchers, who support 12 different public safety agencies in Ada County.

The Ada County Sheriff’s Office 911 Emergency Dispatch Center, located in Meridian, handles all public calls for service and coordinates all police, fire and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) movement within Ada County.

That means we take all 911 and non-emergency calls (and text messages) for the four law enforcement agencies, six fire departments, and paramedics who serve Ada County. We then coordinate how those agencies will respond to a call —sending the right amount of resources to the right place at the right time.

Join City Club members for a tour of the Ada County Sheriff’s Office 911 Emergency Dispatch Center on Tuesday, November 14, at 6:00 p.m.

Event Cost: $15 City Club members // $20 non-members
