Public safety dispatchers are the “true first responders” to any emergency in Jackson County and are “the vital link between those in need and emergency services,” according to Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse. Sheriff Morse and Undersheriff Darrel Chapman recently presented an annual report to the Jackson County Commissioners. Part of that report highlighted the important role of dispatchers, which have been difficult positions to fill this past year. “The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office communications division is the central answering point for 911 in Jackson County,” Morse said. “The communications center dispatches for five law enforcement agencies, eight fire departments and two Emergency Management Services (EMS).”
