Andy Beshear. \u201cYour mission is an important one. As you are now the lifeline to those facing some of their darkest and scariest times. Thank you for being a hero and the ears to Kentucky\u2019s first responders.\u201d Dispatch basic training is mandatory for any sworn or civilian employee who will dispatch law enforcement officers by radio at a Criminal Justice Information Systems agency. Graduates of the academy have successfully completed a highly structured and comprehensive curriculum to satisfy mandated training requirements. The graduates of Class 147 received 164 hours of academy instruction to satisfy these requirements over four weeks. Major training areas include identifying the role and responsibilities of the dispatcher, correct phone and radio procedures, handling emergency and non-emergency calls for service, emergency medical dispatch protocols and use of the state and national criminal databases. \u201cI am proud of your accomplishments while at the academy,\u201d DOCJT Commissioner Nicolai Jilek said. \u201cYour four weeks of training have laid a solid foundation for a rewarding career for years to come. I wish you the best of luck in your careers.\u201d DOCJT is a state agency located on Eastern Kentucky University\u2019s campus. The agency is the first in the nation to be accredited under the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies\u2019 public safety training program designation."}
