Chattanooga, TN – According to TDOSHS Commissioner Jeff Long, Tennessee Highway Patrol Colonel Matt Perry, and Dispatch Director Caiti Medling welcomed the latest graduating class of THP dispatchers.
“In an emergency, a dispatcher is often the first contact Tennesseans have with first responders,” said Commissioner Long. “Their skills and professionalism as they interact with law enforcement and the public are vital as we work together toward the best possible outcome.”
The graduation ceremony took place at the TDOSHS Training Center.
Prior to graduation, each dispatcher completed seven weeks of intensive training aimed at honing their communication, multi-tasking, and problem-solving abilities.
