About Sherman County 911 Communications

Sherman County 911 Communications became its own department in 1996. Prior to that, the Police Department took 911 calls and transferred county calls to the sheriff’s office to be dispatched out to the deputies. We have had the honor of serving residents of the City of Goodland and rural Sherman County residents for the last 29 years.
