The Communications division consists of highly trained dispatchers / call takers. Using the Computer Assisted Dispatch system, or C.A.D., they distribute calls for service and manage patrol resources from their Communication Center.
They are the deputy's life line in times of crisis and his liaison to other agencies and the public.
In addition to these duties, the dispatchers are also responsible for confirmation of wanted persons/vehicles though TLETS/TCIC and NLETS/NCIC, messaging services to outside agencies and for monitoring the TDD for the deaf.
