Director's Message
Welcome to the Emergency Communications Department. As Director, I am so pleased to be affiliated with an award winning team of employees at the 911 Center. The 911 Center began operations in February, 1986 as a way to consolidate services in Monroe County. The Center has continued to grow and now serves 84 different public safety agencies. Last year, our 192 employees handled more than 1.2 million calls for service.
Our highly trained staff always strives to provide the best service possible to the public. Our employees are the most dedicated you will find anywhere, subjecting themselves to rigorous training standards. They take pride in the high expectations they set for each other. As you can see, the 911 Center is immensely successful and is a national model.
