Men and women who take a beating physically, verbally and definitely on social media and keep coming back to protect and serve. THAT is our law enforcement group ! I’ve often seen them go above and beyond , sadly that’s not what makes “news” . If only the public could see what we see. They work tirelessly to get the job done and sacrifice their time with family and friends. We’re honored to work with them and consider them a “family “ just like those in EMS and Fire.
“ Everyone goes home safe and sound at the end of shift “ is the goal , always. Please give an officer an extra friendly hello this week. They truly deserve it. Officers , Stay safe and sane. We do appreciate you.

There is a new phone scam going around the county. People are receiving phone calls from someone identifying themselves as a Sargent/Deputy Jason Cook, this subject is identifying himself as a member of either the Michigan State police or the Marquette County Sheriffs department. The phone number associated with these calls is 906-208-7260. If you receive a call from this number please do not provide any information and hang up.

The Marquette County Central Dispatch Department wants to inform the community and persons we serve that the end of 3G wireless connection is rapidly approaching. Wireless carriers will discontinue support of 3G devices in 2022. Older style 3G models of Tracfones, flip phones, Jitterbugs, etc. are going to start falling off networks sooner than later. 3G devices will not only be disabled from normal use – they will also be unable to dial or call 9-1-1. So even if you or a loved one has been keeping a 3G device for 9-1-1 purposes only, eventually it will no longer work at all.
How do you identify if you have a 3G device?
• Check the phone’s IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity)
o IMEI should be available on a smartphone in the “About” tab of settings
o IMEI from the phone’s keypad by pressing: * #06 #
• Once you have your IMEI number go to: https://www.imei.info
o This site will provide details on the phone and the network it is set up for. 3G networks use frequencies at 900Mhz or 2100Mhz.
• Additional links from major wireless carriers
o Verizon
o https://www.verizon.com/about/news/3g-cdma-network-shut-date-set-december-31-2022
o AT&T
o https://www.att.com/support/article/wireless/KM1324171
Marquette County Central Dispatch/9-1-1 asks everyone to check their device and/or help loved ones to ensure you remain connected to each other and so you’ll always be able to reach 9-1-1 in the event of an emergency.

We’re phasing out our 3G network by February 2022 to make room for an even better one that will improve your experience. Find out how to get ready.
