🏆EMD Top Performers – May 2026 🏆

Each month, emergency medical calls are reviewed by our Quality Assurance team to ensure Communications Officers are following nationally recognized Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD)protocols and providing the highest level of service to our community. EMD is the process 911 call takers use to gather critical information and provide emergency instructions before help arrives.

These scores reflect compliance with nationally recognized Emergency Medical Dispatch protocols, which help ensure callers receive consistent, accurate, and effective emergency instructions while help is on the way.

Congratulations to our May Top Performers! Thank you for your commitment to excellence and for the care you provide to callers every day. ❤️
