  - I was a Communications Dispatcher II for over 29 years.
  - Communications Dispatchers handle radio and telephone communications for the County Sheriff, County Fire, County paramedics, County Parks, numerous other state and municipal and agencies, and a few private local service providers.
  - We started giving emergency medical Pre-Arrival Instructions on June 17, 1996 and the program is working well.
  - In September of 1998 we transitioned to the Advanced Medical Priority Dispatching System from the National Academy of Emergency Medical Dispatch; most of the dispatchers upgraded to Version 11 of the AMPDS in October of 2000.

On January 28, 1997, The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors approved a request from the Central Fire Protection District to use the name Santa Clara County Fire Department. Dispatchers and Fire Department personnel now refer to "County Fire (unit designator)" instead of "Central Fire (unit designator)."
