Dispatch

The Dispatch Division serves as the vital communication hub of the Cranston Police Department. Operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the division is responsible for receiving and prioritizing emergency and non-emergency calls, dispatching officers to incidents, and coordinating communication between first responders and other city services.

Staffed by highly trained public safety dispatchers, the division ensures that every call is handled with accuracy, efficiency, and professionalism. Dispatchers use advanced technology to track units in the field, relay critical information, and provide continuous support to officers during active incidents.

Beyond emergency response, the Dispatch Division also assists residents with inquiries, connects callers to appropriate resources, and monitors critical communication systems to maintain public safety. Their commitment to rapid response and clear communication plays a vital role in protecting the community and supporting the mission of the Cranston Police Department.
