Thank you to all those who are dispatchers. Especially those at the Polk County Sheriff's Office, Iowa. Every emergency call starts with a dispatcher. They are often the calm voice during emergency situations before we arrive on the scene. This week we honor the calm voices on the other side of the radio - our talented, dedicated dispatchers. These public safety dispatchers are an integral part of our team to keep the residents within our community safe and calm during an emergency call for service. THANK YOU!

The Johnston-Grimes Metropolitan Fire Department (JGMFD) recognized a few of their own on Wednesday, Mar. 10, 2021, at Fire Station 39.
