Gov’t Code § 81.032, for the benefit of emergency personnel, including but not limited to Emergency Communications and Mobile Outreach Teams.

Background

This service is for Williamson County Emergency Services personnel to have access to therapy dogs.  These dogs are provided through K-9's On Call Support Dogs which is an organization of volunteers with trained and credentialed handlers and dogs.  The animals are brought into the workspace on a scheduled basis and can be used after a critical event to help reduce the stress of the telecommunicators.
