Emergency dispatch center Clark Regional Emergency Services Agency announced Tuesday it earned reaccreditation for the eighth time.

CRESA achieved the status of Medical Accredited Center of Excellence, awarded by the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch.

Only 11 other dispatch centers around the world have been reaccredited as often as CRESA, the agency said in a news release.

“Accreditation is truly a pinnacle achievement,” Christof Chwojka, accreditation board chair at the international organization, said in the news release. “We applaud the dedicated call-takers, dispatchers and leadership team at CRESA for their commitment to quality, and for meeting that high standard that few achieve. We know their community can count on these first, first responders to do an outstanding job.”

CRESA leadership attributes the agency’s reaccreditation to the dedicated staff, the news release states.
