We would like to extend our sincere thanks to The Huntington County Sheriff's Office for the incredible custom wooden sign in recognition of National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. (April 12-18, 2026) Your thoughtfulness and support mean more than words can express.

This sign is not only beautifully crafted, but it’s honestly one of the coolest things we have ever been gifted. Gestures like this remind us that the work we do behind the scenes is seen, valued, and appreciated.

Thank you for your continued support of our dispatch team and for taking the time to honor us in such a meaningful way.

We can’t wait to get this hung in our center! 😍

Today, multiple agencies came together at Huntington North High School for a powerful DUI and distracted driving reenactment ahead of prom weekend.

Participants included the Huntington Police Department (Officer Wiseley), Huntington County Sheriff’s Office (Chief Deputy Hammel), Huntington Fire Department, Parkview EMS, Huntington County Coroner’s Office, Huntington County Emergency Management, Huntington County Public Safety Dispatch, Huntington County Prosecutor (Jeremy Nix) and Huntington County Courts (Judge Newton).

Students witnessed a realistic mock crash scene followed by a courtroom proceeding, highlighting the real-life consequences of impaired and distracted driving.

We hope this impactful demonstration stays with students as they make decisions this weekend. Make smart choices. Stay safe.
