Communications Division

The Communications Division of the Seabrook Police Department is responsible for answering 911 calls and non-emergency phone calls from the public. The communications division is the central communications "hub" for which information flows in and out to emergency responders and citizens. The Seabrook Police Department Communications Office dispatches for the Seabrook Police Department, Seabrook Emergency Medical Services, and Seabrook Volunteer Fire Department through the Harris County Digital Radio System.

Telecommunications Officers (dispatchers) are also responsible for data entry into local, state, and national databases. They enter information on stolen vehicles, stolen property, protective orders, and information on missing persons, as well as AMBER Alerts. Using databases, the Telecommunications Officers can confirm entries on stolen property and arrest warrants. Telecommunication Operators are the "first" first responder on every 911 call.

The Communications Division is staffed by eight qualified and trained dispatchers who work 12-hour shifts. Each shift is staffed by 2 dispatchers who work in tandem to provide effective, efficient, and professional service when dispatching emergency personnel.
