Communications Officers

The Dispatch Center is responsible for receiving and dispatching approximately 15,000 calls a month as well as monitoring alarm systems which include burglar alarms, fire alarms, campus blue light emergency phones and 911 calls.

Communications Officers are responsible for handling incoming calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are the front line for incoming emergency calls and provide support for other departments after hours.

It is the Communications Officer's responsibility to initiate emergency protocols and to insure there is complete follow up. They serve the public by phone, radio and people that come in the office daily for lost & found, to register events, to sign out a key, and a host of other services. All Communications Officers are trained in handling any type of emergency.
