"I am truly thankful for each of these individuals," Emergency Communications Chief Andrew Hamilton said. "Not only are they exceptional employees, but they are also wonderful people who genuinely care about their team members, first responders and the community. They serve admirably with little recognition and have made countless impacts on the lives of others. The full extent of their work may never be known, but their efforts have touched countless lives and truly make a difference."
The emergency dispatchers listed combine over 170 years of serving Escambia County as the first voice on-scene.
