Public Safety Dispatch Academy Class 155 announced From Michael Moore Richmond, KY - On March 8, 2024, Gov. Andy Beshear and the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) announced that 25 dispatchers from across the state graduated from the Public Safety Dispatch Academy and are now ready to begin answering the call to aid both citizens and law enforcement officers of the commonwealth. Local area graduates included Darian J. Mitchell with the Greensburg Police Department, and Jeri A. Spencer with Barren-Metcalfe County ECC. "Thank you for answering the call of service," Gov. Beshear said. "Your 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's first responders." 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 155 received 164 hours of academy instruction to satisfy these requirements over four weeks. Major training areas included 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. "I am proud of your accomplishments while at the academy," DOCJT Commissioner Nicolai Jilek said. "Your 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." DOCJT is a state agency located on the Eastern Kentucky University campus. The agency is the first in the nation to be accredited under the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies' public safety training program designation. Class 155 graduates and their agencies are:
The Beshear-Coleman administration's top priority is the safety of all Kentuckians. The Governor's public safety actions are creating safer communities and a better Kentucky now and into the future. DOCJT provides basic training for city and county police officers, sheriffs' deputies, university police, airport police throughout the state, only excluding Louisville Metro Police Department, Lexington Police Department, Bowling Green Police Department, and the Kentucky State Police, which each have independent academies.
