Skagway Police Department provides emergency dispatch for police, fire and emergency medical services (EMS) to the City and Borough of Skagway, with one dispatcher on duty per shift.

The APCO Institute EMD Program, based on EMD Guidecards and software, is a systematic way to manage EMS resources in an organized and effective manner and to provide medical assistance to callers until medically trained field response units arrive at the scene.

"The APCO Institute welcomes Skagway Police Department as an EMD User Agency and looks forward to working with their staff to provide EMD services to their area," APCO Institute Director Julie Troutman said.
