BCSO celebrates telecommunications week

In recognition of Telecommunications Week we would like to highlight some of our unsung hero's this week. The Bates County Communications Division is the primary 911 answering point for all agencies within the county excluding Butler. The communications division dispatches for the Sheriff's Office, Adrian Police and Fire, Hume Fire and Rockville Fire.

First we would like to recognize Cathy Burnside. Cathy has been with us since 2017. Cathy is a dedicated communications officer and is reliable. Her strong communications skills has help develop younger communications officers.

Kyrston Gaines has been with us since 2022. Kyrston is a great communicator and has developed quickly in her role which makes her an asset to not only our communications division but to our community.
