    JACK COUNTY COMMUNICATIONS IS THE HEART BEAT OF THE JACK COUNTY SHERIFF OFFICE. WE ARE STILL A SMALL DEPARTMENT IN THE WAY WE ENJOY DEALING WITH THE PUBLIC WE SERVE, BUT WE ARE A LARGE DEPARTMENT IN THE WAY WE HANDLE OUR PROFESSIONAL DUTIES.

     THE LIFE OF A COMMUNICATIONS EXPERT IS VERY DEMANDING AND STRESSFUL. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN EVEN THE MOST EXPERIENCED DISPATCHER HAS TROUBLE KEEPING UP WITH THE CALL VOLUME. AT OTHER TIMES THE WORK IS VERY SLOW, WHICH GIVES THE OPERATOR TIME TO UNWIND AND CATCH UP ON PAPERWORK OR REFLECT ON HOW CERTAIN CALLS COULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED BETTER. ALL GOOD DISPATCHERS KNOW THAT THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW TO BE LEARNED.

     AS A COMMUNICATIONS EXPERT YOU ARE EXPECTED TO KNOW A GREAT DEAL OF INFORMATION, OF WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. WE WELCOME ALL CALLS THAT WE CAN BE OF HELP ON, IF WE CANNOT HELP WE MAY BE ABLE TO ASSIST YOU BY POINTING YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. OF COURSE WE NEED YOUR ASSISTANCES BY UNDERSTANDING THAT “IN PROGRESS” CALLS OR ”LIFE AND DEATH” EMERGENCIES WILL ALWAYS COME FIRST. WE DO NOT MEAN TO SAY THAT YOUR CALL IS NOT IMPORTANT, JUST THAT OTHER CALLS MAY BE MORE IMPORTANT AT THE MOMENT.

     AS TIME ALLOWS WE ALWAYS ENJOY SEEING PEOPLE AND GETTING TO SHOW OFF THE NEW BUILDING. WE ARE NOW UP TO DATE ON ALL THE NEW EQUIPMENT, JACK COUNTY HAS ENTERED THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY AND WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO ALL THE MANY PERSONS WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE. IN CLOSING MAY I AS COMMUNICATIONS ADMINISTRATOR SAY THANK YOU FOR THE CHANCE TO SERVE THE GOOD PEOPLE OF JACK COUNTY.
