Law Enforcement Services: With the exception of the
mountainous region, these areas are patrolled 24-hours by a Sheriff's Deputy.
The E911 center is the focal point for receiving requests for public safety
services from the public, entering the information into a computer, and then
dispatching the case to the deputies assigned to the appropriate patrol area.
The E911 center is also designated as the primary focal point for all
information to and from the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and the
Colorado Crime Information Center (CCIC).
Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD): All assigned
emergency communications operators are qualified to provide lifesaving medical
instructions to patients over the telephone until medical personnel arrive on
scene. Emergency communicators are tested and qualified using Emergency Medical
Dispatch procedures outlined by Medical Priority, Inc. The E911 center
dispatches for five regional medical Quick Reaction Teams (QRT). QRT's are
medically trained volunteers who respond and assist ambulance personnel in
emergency and non-emergency situations. Medical QRT's are assigned throughout
western Larimer County, usually in mountainous regions where response times by
an ambulance alone is too great a risk to injured or sick persons. Volunteer
Fire Departments: Larimer County is responsible for providing wildfire warning,
response, and victim assistance for its residents and visitors within county
jurisdiction.
Emergency Services: The Larimer County Sheriff's
Office has the statutory obligation for wildfire suppression in unincorporated
areas of the county. The E911 center dispatches all wildfire firefighters and
equipment assigned to Larimer County Sheriff's Office Emergency Services. In addition, the E911
center dispatches for six regional volunteer fire departments. These volunteer
fire departments, like the medical QRT's, are located in the western mountainous
portion of Larimer County.
