  • If you were to walk into the Ada County 911 Emergency Dispatch Center today, you might think there is a lot of clowning around going on – after all, it’s decked out in circus tents, clowns, cutouts of acrobats and jugglers, and more. This week – National Public Safety Telecommunications Week – marks the week-long celebration dedicated to those who serve our community by answering 911 and non-emergency calls, dispatching the right help, solving problems and lending an ear when people need it most. Last year, Ada County dispatchers answered 150,170 911 calls and 238,021 non-emergency calls – that’s about 1,063 non-emergency and 911 calls a day. However, what our statistics don’t illustrate are the types of calls our dispatchers handle. For some, they call dispatch on the darkest day of their life – they’ve found a deceased loved one, they’re a victim of domestic violence, they were involved in a traumatic car crash. For other callers, happier moments – successfully delivering a healthy baby outside of the hospital with step-by-step instructions provided by their dispatcher or hearing their unresponsive loved one take a breath after their dispatcher gave them effective CPR instructions. For many, the calls are somewhere in between – someone broke into their vehicle overnight, they heard loud arguing at a neighbors’ house, a cow is loose on a main roadway, or a suspicious vehicle is in their neighborhood. For many, that calm, confident voice on the other end of the line signifies hope – and that help is on the way. In some situations, that voice provides detailed instructions for a caller to do something helpful in the meantime. Sometimes a dispatcher’s role is simply holding space with someone who needs to talk, whether they are having suicidal thoughts or are an elderly person with no family. For our dispatchers – all of whom often play the role of ring master by directing callers, witnesses, and first responders where to go and what to do, who complete a juggling act every shift, who act like trapeze artists on some calls by delicately balancing their word choice and tone – the circus theme of this week is a light way to celebrate their hard work, sacrifice and achievements over the past year.

    We had a great time “Under the Sea” last night at the VIP Prom for Special Needs Students! Students at Mountain View High School organized an unforgettable experience for special needs students from high schools across West Ada County. Welcomed by a cordon of law enforcement, the prom promised inclusivity and a great time. The "Under the Sea" themed prom was intricately designed to cater to every student's needs, ensuring that each attendee could participate without hindrance. Every detail was well planned, from mitigating noise sensitivity to accommodating those averse to strobe lights and crowds. It was an evening to remember!
