The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office is pleased to announce that the week of April 13 through April 19 is National Telecommunicator Week. The Sheriff’s Office would like to recognize the outstanding efforts of the Communications Officers who staff the Stafford County 9-1-1 Emergency Communications Center, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Communications Officers receive and process all calls for service via 9-1-1 (both landlines and cell phones) as well as emergency and non-emergency administrative telephone calls and support first responders through dispatch services.

The Stafford County Emergency Communications Center would like to invite the public to an Open House on Saturday, April 12, 2014 from 9:00am – 1:00pm, located at the Public Safety Center, 1225 Courthouse Road in Stafford. The ECC will be open to the public to tour this state-of the-art facility. This will be an excellent opportunity for the public to get an up close and personal look at what goes on in a 9-1-1 Center.
Join the staff of the Stafford County 9-1-1 Emergency Communications Center for what promises to be a very enjoyable experience. In addition, the public will be able to view various pieces of apparatus used by the Sheriff’s Office and the Fire & Rescue Department.

At the Open House, Stafford County Crime Solvers will also have a Stafford Shred It Program – Drive Thru Style. For only $5.00 a box Stafford citizens can come to the Open House and have their unwanted papers shredded. The limit for shredding is 100 pounds per person. Proceeds from the Stafford Shred It Program will go to Stafford Crime Solvers!
