Bailey Mullens graduates Public Safety Dispatch Academy

Richmond, KY - On June 28, 2024, Gov. Andy Beshear and the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) announced that 27 dispatchers from across the state graduated from the Public Safety Dispatch Academy and are now ready to begin answering the call to aid both citizens and law enforcement officers of the commonwealth.

Among the graduates was Bailey Mullens with Adair County 911.

Dispatch basic training is mandatory for any sworn or civilian employee who will dispatch law enforcement officers by radio at a Criminal Justice Information Systems agency. Graduates of the academy have successfully completed a highly structured and comprehensive curriculum to satisfy mandated training requirements. The graduates of Class 158 received 164 hours of academy instruction to satisfy these requirements over four weeks. Major training areas included identifying the role and responsibilities of the dispatcher, correcting phone and radio procedures, handling emergency and non-emergency calls for service, using emergency medical dispatch protocols and using the state and national criminal databases.

Phillip Wood Coffey - Fly on the Wall

By Phillip Wood Coffey

Distracted by a fly on the living room wall
Wondering what he has seen and heard.
Oh,The stories he could tell through the neighborhood.
Would it all be true from his perspective
Mixed with the emotions of the moment
Flying from one Dung to another in his journey
Of taking in all the smells and political humdrum.

Would he be polite in all of his exchanges
Among his countless friends of his species
Or would he be raving, complaining and cursing
About all that he has seen and heard without
Listening to the many opposing views
In the commonality and opposing theatrics in the expressing.

He will soon pass on, leaving only an undetectable scratch from his landing
And always be lifting in a backward direction, as many of us sadly do.
