Established in 1988, the Communication Managers Association of San Mateo County (CMA) is an organization dedicated to promoting and enhancing the profession of public safety dispatching. Through innovative training, exploring new technologies and collaboration with state and local agencies, we strive to assist our members by providing support to our communities and law enforcement professionals.

The CMA members are comprised of Communication Managers/Supervisors from various governmental agencies, throughout the county, drawn together to assess the needs of 9-1-1 emergency communications.  As members of the CMA, our mission and goals are based on our shared values of professionalism, ethical behaviors, and integrity.  Using sound decision-making, we promote the advancement of the public safety dispatcher profession through mentoring, legislation involvement, ongoing training, and recognition.
