The Missouri Chapter of APCO is proud to recognize Director Brittany Uksas and Communications Operator Cindy Dirden of Scott City 9-1-1 as Missouri Teammates in Action!
On December 28, 2023, a 911 call was received by Scott City 9-1-1 that hit too close to home. Communications Operator Missy Bruce’s daughter was the caller and Missy was found unresponsive. While Operator Dirden managed the 9-1-1 call interview, Director Uksas dispatched first responders and EMS. Due to their quick response, Operator Bruce has fully recovered. Without Dirden & Uksas this would not have been possible.
These two communications professionals were a vital part in this call as they are on every call. Missouri APCO is pleased to recognize them as Missouri Teammates in Action.
