Emergency Alerts


Communications

Dispatch



The Aspen-Pitkin County Communications Center is the  9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for many municipalities, fire districts, and Emergency Medical Service agencies in the Roaring Fork Valley. We send responders from these agencies to problems occurring anywhere from Independence Pass to Marble, from Mt. Sopris to Ruedi Reservoir. The APCCC is staffed and operational 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.

APCCC

  • Receives 9-1-1 and non-emergent telephone calls from the public
  • Determines the priority and scope of the request or situation and then
  • Dispatches the appropriate law, fire or EMS support.

    •  

    In addition the APCCC coordinates, supports and maintains many systems including the 9-1-1information database, the incident management system which includes fire danger ratings and resource availability, and Pitkin County Jail security.  We use state of the art training and equipment to ensure the best possible service to those who require our assistance. We are trained in Emergency Medical Dispatch in which we can provide medical instruction, from basic first aid to C.P.R., until appropriate responders can arrive. We are versed in communications techniques to accommodate any caller's emotional state. We use touch-screen radio and telephone computer systems, access the national and state criminal information centers, and disseminate National Weather Service advisories to surrounding counties…and this is only a small portion of the duties we perform.
