Today, Kayley McCarthy started as the EPPD’s newest dispatcher.

Kayley grew up in Alaska and moved to Minnesota in 2008. She worked as a dispatcher for the Carver County Sheriff’s Office for more than 14 years before joining Eden Prairie.

The City of Eden Prairie is fortunate to have our own 911 Dispatch Center where emergency and non-emergency calls are answered 24/7. In 2023, our dispatchers answered 45,765 calls ranging from burglary alarms to vehicle crashes to fires.

Our dispatchers know our officers and firefighters, as well the city itself – its infrastructure, streets, parks, shopping areas, schools, etc., and as a result are able to provide customized service to people who call 911. We’re happy to have Kayley join their ranks!
