WARSAW â Thursday was payback time for Noble County E-911 â in the best way possible.
Noble County dispatchers filled a tote â and much more â that had been given to them by Indiana State Police dispatchers and gave it to their counterparts at the Kosciusko County Sheriffâs Department.

Recently, the District 22 State Police Dispatch Center received a tote full of snacks, drinks and other goodies from Miami County Central Dispatch. This tote is a gesture from one center to another center that has been affected by a traumatic event, or even series of traumatic events.

âEveryone knows itâs dangerous to text and drive, yet we still see people on their phones behind the wheel every day,â said Noble County Sheriffâs Department Sgt.

If we all do our part, we can put a stop to distracted driving and prevent these senseless tragedies from occurring.â
