Joint Dispatch Center
The purpose of the Joint Dispatch Center is to provide countywide
communications for the public to police, fire, and emergency medical
services.One of the services they provide to the residents of Manitowoc County is Enhanced 9-1-1, which supplies dispatchers with the name, address, and emergency service provider(s) for each particular address; thereby making the response to each incident quicker and more efficient. They also have the capability for wireless 9-1-1, which means a person calling with a cellular telephone and in line of sight of the satellites, can be located on a map, to identify their location if they are not sure where they are.
The department is directed by Nancy H. Crowley RN, CEM.
The Homeland Security Advisory System is designed to target our protective measures when specific information to a specific sector or geographic region is received. It combines threat information with vulnerability assessments and provides communications to public safety officials and the public.
