Dispatchers are ready and waiting for your call.

Once on duty, these trained professional telecommunicators literally wait for the next report of a medical emergency, fire, vehicle crash, shooting or disaster in order to first assist the caller, and then alert and dispatch the appropriate first responders to render immediate assistance at the scene.

At the same time, 911 dispatchers must remain calm while providing instructions on life-saving medical interventions.
