The Communications Division is responsible for dispatching deputies, fire department to calls for service, and handling all 911 emergency calls. Dispatchers are highly trained law enforcement personnel who must respond immediately and appropriately to all calls for service. Training includes but is not limited to Emergency Medical Dispatch certified.
After dialing 911, there may be a 5-6 second delay before it starts to ring.
DO NOT HANG UP. The call IS going through. The delay is due to the routing involved with the phone company that allows dispatch to see the name and address of the residence the call is coming from. Please stay on the phone.
CodeRED Web
The Converse County Sheriff’s Office and The City of Douglas has instituted CodeRED
Web Emergency Notification System – a high speed telephone communication service
for emergency notifications. This system allows our office to telephone a targeted
area or all of the City and County in case of an emergency situation that requires our
office to make immediate notification (such as a boiling water notice, missing child or
evacuation notifications. The system is capable of dialing 50,000 phone numbers per
hour. It then delivers our recorded message to a live person or leaves a message on an
answering system. CodeRED Web will make three attempts to connect to any number.
The CodeRED Web system will only be used in time of emergencies.
