Sabine Parish Sheriff Aaron Mitchell announces it is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week 2025.

Sabine Parish Sheriff Dispatch is the backbone of communications for Sabine Parish. Our dispatchers answer 911 emergency calls and all other reports of crimes, fires, motor vehicle crashes, medical emergencies, and other phone calls. Dispatchers also keep call logs, create call sheets, query license plates, driver’s licenses, and criminal histories, prepare Deputies’ case packets, and many other duties.

Sheriff Mitchell said these ladies often do not get the recognition they deserve, but they are a vital part of the Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Office. This is your week.

Sabine Parish Sheriff Captain Stacy Etheridge supervises approximately 10 dispatchers who work 8 and 12 hour shifts at the Sabine Parish Courthouse Sheriff Communication Division.

Sheriff Mitchell and the Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Office thank you for all of your hard work, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
