Communications staff told the Sawyer County Public Safety Committee that 2025 call-for-service totals were 17,276 and that the dispatch center received 2,814 calls in December.
Staff said the Berkey staff completed a tabletop critical-incident exercise led by sergeant Jensen, lieutenant Repinski and Director Rubsinski to define roles and responsibilities for potential critical incidents. The director is working on two grant projects, and 9-1-1 joint-power agreements for 2026 are being sent to municipalities.
The communications briefing was presented as informational; staff said a fuller report that breaks calls out by township and timestamps will follow once minor software issues in a new reporting system are resolved.
