Dispatch & School Crossing Guards

Our dispatch center and school crossing guards also operate under the purview of the police department. The dispatch center is now a shared service with Union County Police and responsible for receiving all 911 and non-emergency police-related calls, as well as police, fire and rescue squad dispatching.

Support of Governing Bodies

With the support of the governing body, this department is committed to meeting the highest level of professional standards. We believe we can accomplish this by not only investing in the latest equipment and technology, but by also investing in our officers and civilian support staff by providing them the best available training.

I am extremely proud of the professionalism of the men and women that make up this organization and their commitment to the community they serve.
