The WEST COMM Dispatch Center, a hub for emergency communications, plays a pivotal role in ensuring public safety for multiple communities and governmental entities. The center's manager, Brandi Vineyard, is currently at the Association of Public Safety Communications Officers Conference, an annual meetup that serves as the cornerstone for those tasked with the weighty responsibility of handling public safety communications.

While there, Vineyard is expected to actively engage with her peers from across the nation, discussing ways to not just maintain, but also improve the efficacy of their communication strategies. They are set to review best practices and survey emerging technologies that can potentially revolutionize the way dispatch centers operate. According to the White Settlement Police Department, the conference offers a unique opportunity for professionals like Vineyard to deeply connect with peers from around the country.

The relevance of such gatherings can't be overstated, as the WEST COMM Dispatch Center is responsible for a network that spans numerous carefully-knit communities, such as White Settlement, Westworth Village, and Sansom Park, as well as newly added Lakeside from October 1st. Their responsibilities extend further to partnerships with various military and federal law enforcement agencies such as the U.S. Navy Police and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
