Communications

The communications department of Texas A&M EMS answers 900-1000 calls for help each year. The dispatch staff is composed completely by student volunteers who operate Sentinel 911 computers and CAD (computer aided dispatch) systems. The Sentinel 911 computers answer all EMS related 911 and 9-911 calls that are located on the university campus.

All communications with EMS units are completed by utilizing a Motorola
