Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, without fail a call to 9-1-1 will get you the voice of a person trained for your specific need.
The Cynthiana 9-1-1 dispatchers were honored last month as the Chamber of Commerce’s Public Safety Department of the Year.
There is no such thing as a normal day behind the computer screens and telephones that link dispatchers to the public.
There are, however, routine calls.

Safety is a top priority for the Harrison County School District and while that is a multi-faceted concept, it boils down to preparedness and cooperation, according to the following press release from the district on Tuesday.
All of the schools in the district, as well as the board of education, have reception areas with safety glass and locked doors as a first line of defense.
