Operations

Columbia-Richland Communications is the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for both the City of Columbia and Richland County. Columbia-Richland Communications personnel receive, process, and dispatch both 9-1-1 emergency and 7-digit non-emergency calls for service.
 
Upon receiving a call for service, Columbia-Richland Communications personnel attempt to obtain accurate and timely information.  Personnel utilize the “5” W’s information gathering process:

Where: Location or address of call

What: Nature or problem being reported

Who: The caller’s name

When: Is the incident in progress, just occurred or delayed

Weapons: Presence of weapons (if applicable)

“We will be there when you need us the most”
