King County Sheriff’s Office to host 9-1-1 Citizen’s Academy

Tuesday, September 2, 2014

Local residents will have a great opportunity to learn about the internal workings of the 9-1-1 emergency dispatch center at the upcoming 9-1-1 Citizen’s Academy. It will be held at the Regional Communications Center located at 3511 NE 2nd Street in Renton, from 9am–5pm on Saturday September 27, 2014.

The academy will educate citizens about the role 9-1-1 Communications Specialists play in the public safety system and will prepare them should they ever need to call 9-1-1.

This one day informative class includes everything from the History of 9-1-1 to how citizens can help 9-1-1 help them. A tour of the KCSO 9-1-1 Center is included, and optional “plug-in” time will be offered to academy attendees on follow-up dates for those interested.

The academy is open to anyone at least 18 years old with no felony convictions. Applicants must live or work in King County.

Applications to attend are now being accepted. Space is limited and completed applications should be turned in by Wednesday, September 24, 2014.

Applications are available on the King County Sheriff’s Office website.  You can also request the applications by calling the Hotline at 206-205-6625, or by sending an email request.
