The Campbellsville Police Department announces the graduation of Mr. Cody Wood of Campbellsville from the Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) Basic Telecommunicator Academy during a ceremony Friday May 24, 2013, on the campus of Eastern Kentucky University. Wood graduated as “Valedictorian” of the class of twenty-four Tele
communicators in recognition of his maintenance of an academic grade average over 98 percent.
Wood, a Police Communications Officer I, joined the staff at CPD Communications 911 Center on September 10, 2012. He is one of twelve members of the Communications Center.
Dubbed the “lifeline” of law enforcement, the Communications 911 Center at the Campbellsville Police Department is precisely that – an immediate, 24-hour connection for the citizen and the responder to an expert Police Communications Officer – whenever the need for law enforcement service arises. The CPD Communications 911 Center functions under the authority of the Chief through a joint agreement between the Mayor, County Judge Executive, City Council and Fiscal Court, providing communications and dispatch for law enforcement and emergency management agencies in Taylor County, Kentucky. The center delivers the most timely, effective, and efficient response to every life and/or property-threatening emergency occurring within the county.
Police Communications Manager Anne Sanders stated, “Police Communications Officers are the consummate multi-taskers; simultaneously taking calls for service, maintaining radio contact with first responders for their safety and support in the field, while continuously updating the criminal justice and public safety databases”.
Mayor Tony Young said, “It’s no surprise; these professionals have earned the name ‘behind the scenes heroes’.”
CPD Communications also provide radio contact, records, and CJIS information for the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office. As with all emergency services, the mission of the CPD Communications 911 Center is to protect the welfare of the citizens of Campbellsville and Taylor County. CPD Communications maintains service requests for the Campbellsville and Taylor County Fire &Rescue Departments and the Campbellsville – Taylor County Emergency Medical Service.
Chief Tim Hazlette applauds the members of the Communications 911 Center by adding, “In emergency and non-emergency circumstances, Campbellsville Police Communications Officers serve their fellow citizens with clarity, with competency, and with sensitivity to their particular needs”.
Foot Note: Kentucky Revised Statute 15.530 through 15.590 require any individual employed full-time to dispatch law enforcement via radio communications for a criminal justice information service (CJIS) agency to complete a minimum of 160 hours of training within six months of hire. The Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice and Training (DOCJT) (http://docjt.ky.gov) offers a Telecommunications Academy to meet these requirements. The basic course is 175 hours and designed for new hires that will have full access to CJIS databases at their agencies. During the length of the course, which is four weeks and three days, telecommunicators learn call-taking basics and spend one week devoted to CJIS and the Law Information Network Kentucky (LINK) and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). To stay in compliance, telecommunicators are required to complete eight hours of in-service training from the department annually.
