Each Leavenworth County Dispatcher is trained and certified in the use of Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) protocols, Law Enforcement Dispatch (LED) protocols and Fire Service Dispatch (FSD) protocols; these certifications mean that when a citizen calls 9-1-1 the dispatcher will provide survival instructions thereby serving as the first, first responder on the scene.
