PSC’s are the critical link in helping those in need of emergency services in the county.
We are the “first of the first responders.”
PSC’s must always remain calm and communicate effectively with knowledge and authority.
PSC’s must also provide excellent customer service and remember, there is no such thing as a routine call.
