Our team is comprised of 19 dispatchers, 4 dispatch supervisors, 1 communication administrative supervisor, 1 FCIC agency coordinator, 1 communication injunction clerk, and a director. Our dispatchers are state-certified through the Florida Department of Health and are accredited by the Florida Telecommunications Accreditation Commission, ensuring they meet the highest standards of professional training and accountability. Their role is essential to officer safety and operational efficiency, making them a vital part of the Sheriff’s Office.
