The ability to work under pressure. A calm professional demeanor. A knowledge of the county, its emergency services and their boundries. A dedication to training and a desire to be an asset to our community. These are just some of the things it takes to be a 911 dispatcher. However, there is one quality that is nearly invaluable in our chosen field. The ability to multi-task.

     On top of responding to 911 calls and dispatching for the county's emergency services, Mason County dispatchers also answer the administrative phones for the Sheriff's Office, greets visitors to the office, operate the controls to the jail (twenty cameras, fourteen gates and seven doors) and enter all warrants and orders of protections into L.E.A.D.S. (Law Enforcement Agencies Data Systems). The administration and staff at the Mason County Sheriff's Office have made it our goal to provide the citizens of our community with a well trained and professional work force dedicated to serving the needs of our county when you need us the most.
