Communications and Radio Management

Coordinating dispatch services for emergency personnel

Dispatcher at the Communications Center.
Police dispatchers maintain the life lines between public safety services and our residents, businesses and visitors.

The Communications Center is an essential part of the Bloomington Police Department. Its highly-trained personnel perform dispatch services for Patrol, Investigations, Fire, Medical Response and Animal Control. Fourteen full-time dispatchers work rotating shifts to ensure 24/7 coverage in the center. Dispatchers answer approximately 16,000 telephone calls each month; 24 percent of these are 911 calls.

The Communications Unit is a member of the LOGIS consortium for computer-aided dispatching. This consolidation provides an efficient way of handling records management for service calls.
