Those words can be heard nearly 100 times each day at the La Crosse County Public Safety Communications Center.   Since La Crosse County implemented the 9-1-1 service in 1983, our agency has answered over 1 million 9-1-1 calls.

Answering those emergency calls is only one of the vital services we provide and accounts for less than 10% of our incoming phone call totals.   Our center also answers non-emergency calls as well as providing dispatch and other support services for pre-hospital medical, fire and law enforcement agencies in La Crosse County.   Our team of professional telecommunicators is ready 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist the citizens and visitors of La Crosse County when there is a need for public safety services.
