6 Dispatchers work in the communications center which operates as Aitkin County's Public Safety Answering Point. We receive all 9-1-1 calls in Aitkin County, determine the response required and send the appropriate agencies.
In addition to the county deputies, we dispatch:

- 11 fire departments.

The 9-1-1 Communication Center is also:
