They are responsible for dispatching and coordinating patrol response to calls for service and at times, responsible for up to 70 patrol deputies in the field. Dispatchers are among the first responders to emergency incidents and are expected to remain calm, professional, and proficient at all times. Peers have noted that Ann is just that; calm, professional, and proficient. She is an exceptional team player and assists in bringing substantial patrol incidents to a successful conclusion.

Congratulations to Ann Dyer for being selected as the 2015 Dispatcher of the Year.
