BISMARCK, N.D. – The Central Dakota Communications Center, the place that handles 911 calls, says it’s busier than ever and needs more workers.

To put it into perspective, the number of emergency calls is higher than in 2016, when they added the Mandan area to their operations.

The number of 911 calls in Bismarck Mandan and Burleigh County continues to increase. There’s also more man power on the roads with officers and deputies all across those areas responding to all those calls. Dispatchers here at CenCom say they need more people in order to keep doing their jobs and to continue keeping the community safe.
