Also, updated information on the #988 system.

As part of the ADAMHS Board's initiative to expand Dispatcher training in the county, each department will receive reimbursement in the amount of $75 per dispatcher to help remove financial barriers to training. Upon completion of the training, dispatchers will receive a certificate of attendance.
