Hillsborough Sheriff’s Office dispatchers are the county’s unsung heroes

by The 100 Companies

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is celebrating its dispatch team.

Last month, dispatchers for the agency answered 80,550 calls for service.

Dispatch members are dedicated professionals who serve as the critical first link in the Hillsborough Sheriff’s emergency response chain. They ensure citizens receive the help they need swiftly and efficiently, while helping to keep those in crisis calm and in control of the situation until help arrives.

The Communications Bureau is the Primary Public Safety Answering Point for unincorporated Hillsborough County. The Sheriff’s state-certified communications personnel answer all incoming emergency and non-emergency calls 24 hours a day, every day.
