Day in the Life: Lacey Greaney

By: Rochelle Miller

Zetron is honored to work with mission critical communications professionals across a wide array of applications and industries. Our daily interactions with these extraordinary individuals inspired us to launch our Day in the Life blog series. Learn more and check out the full series.

In this edition we had the pleasure of talking with Lacey Greaney who is the Communication Infrastructure Manager at Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office. She talks about her current role and responsibilities, as well as sharing an incredible story from when she was a dispatcher. During Hurricane Laura in 2020, their emergency call center had to deal with some harrowing circumstances while handling calls. This included the hurricane destroying their space while everyone was sick with COVID-19.

Airport Communications Are a Mission Critical Component

Over the years, air travel has experienced considerable fluctuations in growth, most recently with the global pandemic. In 2022, air travel in the United States was up 55%, to 917 million passengers. Which is lower than in 2019, but the numbers are increasing on a yearly basis with air travel numbers projected to meet or exceed pre-pandemic levels in the next year or two. Airports worldwide are experiencing a similar rebound of passengers traveling more, making airport security and communications an even greater mission-critical safety component.

Reimagining the Public Safety Response to Mental Health Crisis Calls

As the number of emergency calls involving mental health issues continues to rise, we often hear reports of mental health situations getting out of hand, and sometimes ending with tragic results. Additionally, it’s important for first responders dealing with these and other emergency situations to take care of their personal mental health.
