— from Sheriff Rob Nou —

Beginning September 15, the 9-1-1 Center located in the Sheriff’s Office will be undergoing renovations including new radio consoles and a new E-9-1-1 phone system.

As these vital upgrades are being installed, Dispatch will be temporarily relocated to the Emergency Operations Center.

This temporary relocation will create some disruption to the normal operation of the  Sheriff’s Office lobby. A phone will be placed in the lobby for walk in customers to access dispatchers by telephone, rather than having the immediate face to face contact through the window to the dispatch center.

This project is expected to be completed in 10 days. The other functions of the Sheriff’s Office will not be affected. We apologize for any inconvenience during this mission critical renovation project.
