El Paso, Texas – The El Paso County Sheriff's Office Celebrate and Recognize "National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week." Each year, the second week of April is dedicated to men and women serving as public safety telecommunicators. This crucial role is filled by telecommunicators and dispatchers, who utilize telephones, radios, computers, and technical skills to support law enforcement and fire services throughout the city and County.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Communications Section is a 24-hr, seven days weekly operation. It provides radio communications and computer-aided dispatch to units in the field. It responds to inquiries from officers in the area regarding wanted and missing individuals, as well as verifying stolen property. In addition to Sheriff's units, Communications also provides these services to other law enforcement agencies, fire departments in the County, and the Medical Examiner's Office. Their functions are indispensable to the safety and welfare of citizens throughout the County. The El Paso County Sheriff's Office Community Service Deputies visited the El Paso County Sheriff's Communications Section on Wednesday, April 12, 2023.
