Adrian Fire Chief Gary Dizney made a special presentation this week to the crew at the Bates County Sheriff's Office 911 Dispatch Center in recognition of their ongoing dedication and professional service.
"We couldn't do what we do without you" said Dizney who went on to say that group has an added level of understanding when it comes to prompt attention to matters, especially in dire situations, and when multiple agencies are involved.
"Despite the worst of circumstances, everything goes as smoothly as possible, every time. Thank you so much."
As many could imagine, when the phone rings in a 911 call center, someone needs help right now and time is of the essence. First responders will often request coordination with neighboring agencies, utility companies, and sometimes dispatch has to deal with unusual situations. To which, according to Dizney, BCSO 911 dispatch comes shining through every time.
"I hope this plaque shows how much the Adrian community appreciates you and we can't say enough about what good you do. Thanks again."
In the few minutes Dizney was making the presentation, yes, some 911 calls came into the center. They were handled promptly and the group was able to take a moment to pose for the photo above.
