At Chippewa County Central Dispatch, heroes don’t always wear uniforms on the front lines—they wear headsets and answer the call when every second matters.
Today, we are proud to recognize three outstanding 911 dispatchers for receiving Life Saving Awards in recognition of their exceptional professionalism, quick thinking, and unwavering dedication during critical emergency incidents.
Through calm decision-making, expert emergency medical dispatch instructions, and seamless coordination with responding first responders, these dispatchers played a vital role in saving lives. Their actions exemplify the highest standards of public safety and remind us that the first first responder is often the voice on the other end of the phone.
Please join us in congratulating:
Kiley McGowan – CPR Instructions – 2 Separate Calls
Olivia LeBel – CPR Instructions
Lynn Spencer – CPR Instructions
These awards were presented after confirming that the dispatchers’ instructions played a critical role in saving the patient’s life. Today, 4 people in our service area are alive and spending time with family because of your actions.
Your commitment to serving our communities, your compassion during someone’s darkest moments, and your dedication to excellence make a difference every single day. We are incredibly proud to have you as part of the Chippewa County Central Dispatch team.
Thank you for your service, your professionalism, and for making a life-saving difference when it mattered most.
Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!
