dispatch centers
911 call destinations
Dispatch centers are facilities where personnel coordinate emergency or service responses, routing calls to appropriate resources.
A 911 dispatch center receives emergency calls and sends police, fire, or medical units.
Trucking companies and taxi services operate dispatch centers to assign vehicles to jobs.
The term emphasizes the centralized coordination function: The dispatch center handles all ambulance requests for the county.
