Oldham County Central Dispatch is the Primary Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for Oldham County, KY. It provides Emergency and Non-Emergency Dispatch Services for Oldham County Kentucky Fire Protection Districts, Law Enforcement and Oldham Emergency Medical Services.

The Kentucky Certified Telecommunicators of the OCCD have the primary responsibility to process 911 calls as well as other non-emergency calls originating in any of our jurisdictions. We dispatch those calls and direct Police, Fire and EMS by radio to those in crises.

OCCD has an important role providing a vital link between Oldham County Emergency Services and the information they need to be effective and efficient in their daily operations. Often called the nerve center of Public Service we are the initial first responders, taking the call and dispatching Oldham County emergency personnel.

Telecommunicators receive Accredited, nationally recognized training from the Department of Criminal Justice Training located at Eastern Kentucky University.

The training is administered through a four-week Basic Telecommunications Academy. While staying on campus you will become a State of Kentucky Certified Telecommunicator.
