Our Mission Statement |
|
The Sheriff's
Communications Division will continue to serve the
public and assist public safety agencies by use of
modern communications equipment and techniques to
enhance the delivery of Emergency Services. As a
participant playing a key role in the County's E-911
Network, we will strive to meet the demand for
professional promptness and efficiency which the
system requires to function. Efforts to continue
training and secure funding through grants will be
pursued vigorously.
Using the radio moniker "44
Control", under F.C.C. call sign "KEE398" the
Communications Division is solely responsible for the
dispatching of Fire Departments throughout Rockland
County. Receiving commercial fire alarms directly into
a computer system and taking 9-1-1 calls that are
transferred from local Police Departments the Division
dispatches tone and voice messages to 26 volunteer
fire departments resulting in excess of 6000
dispatches a year.

 Enhanced 911
9-1-1
is the
phone number that should be dialed whenever Police, Fire, or EMS
(emergency medical services) are needed for an EMERGENCY. When
you dial
9-1-1,
your address and phone number (with enhanced only) will show up
on a monitor in the Police and Fire Communications Center. The
dispatcher answers your call, asks some questions about the
situation, and then sends the appropriate agency to your
location. |

What is Considered
an Emergency?
An Emergency is something that must be stopped, prevented or
remedied at the immediate time, because it threatens life,
physical well being, or property. If your unsure if your
situation is an emergency, call
9-1-1
anyway. If the dispatcher determines that your call is not
considered an emergency call, you might be asked to phone back
on a business line. This keeps
9-1-1
free for real emergencies. An example of calls that should not
go through
9-1-1
are:
- loud
music complaints
-
parking complaints
-
barking dog complaints
