Safety Telecommunicators Week
Regan
Dahm and Lindsey LaFrance provide today's helpful hints
from 911 Dispatch. Both ladies are well experienced in
talking to the callers and understand that it can become
frustrating for the caller when they ask questions. They
want you to know they are not just being Nosey-Nellies.
The questions they ask are vital to getting you the
attention you need and deserve from Logan County first
responders.

Regan Dahm |
“Calling 911
for an emergency currently occurring can be
stressful, scary and overwhelming. The Emergency
Telecommunicators here at Logan Dispatch will
have a calming voice to get you through the
situation until responders arrive on scene. It
is important to stay calm, listen and answer the
questions asked by the Telecommunicator for us
to collect accurate answers to pass along to the
appropriate responding personnel. Please, have
patience while speaking to the dispatcher even
if it seems there are too many questions being
asked. We assure you the response will not be
delayed. While speaking with the emergency
telecommunicator their partner may already be
dispatching emergency personnel. Your
cooperation is critical for the
telecommunicators to efficiently take your call.

LaFrance |
“When calling
911 the most important information you will give
us is the address of where your emergency is at.
If that is the only information we receive, we
can still send help. We will ask lots of
questions at the very beginning of the call. Try
to look around, and be prepared to give where,
what, when and who. Descriptions of those
involved and last direction of travel (if they
have left) are extremely important. You are our
eyes and ears; we depend on you for accurate
information. We know calling 911 is stressful,
and Logan Dispatch is always here to assist you
to the best of our abilities." |
