Department of Emergency Communications Announces Two Promotions By: Matthew Garvey, Director, Orange County Emergency Communications Department
The Orange County Department of Emergency Communications would like to congratulate Justin Lynch and Dwight (Greg) Bedinger on their recent promotions to Communications Supervisor! Justin joined the department in 2019, and Greg joined in 2023. Both have worked to develop their knowledge and skills in our department’s protocols and have completed the state dispatch academy. They have also served as Communications Training Officers, helping new employees learn the job and develop the skills necessary to serve our community. In their new roles, Justin and Greg will be assigned shifts to oversee and manage, providing leadership, guidance, and support to our Communications Officers. They will also attend supervisor-specific training through the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) and quality assurance training through the International Academy of Emergency Dispatch (IAED). This additional training will help strengthen their leadership skills and ensure our calls continue to meet established standards and protocols. Please join us in congratulating Justin and Greg on this well-deserved accomplishment! We look forward to seeing them grow in their new roles and contribute to the continued success of our department.
