Safety

We recognize the importance of our role in the emergency response system and strive to keep our citizens and first responders free from danger by maintaining situational awareness, communicating effectively with our partner agencies.  With a commitment to training and personal development, we can help mitigate risk to the public and our members at fires, police, and medical emergencies.

Teamwork

Our team is supportive of each other's efforts, loyal to one another, and care for each other both personally and professionally.  We recognize each other’s weaknesses and celebrate each other’s strengths, valuing every individual for their unique skills, talents and contributions.  We trust one another to prepare in such a way that puts the reputation of the team and the WARCOG first.

Professionalism

Each of the core values above provides an ingredient that defines professionalism.  Our members must possess a positive attitude, a strong focus on customer service, and conduct themselves in a manner befitting our role as a professional public safety dispatcher, entrusted with the safety of our communities’ officers and citizens.  The preservation of life begins with the members of the WARCOG.
