Southwest Ga. 911 center to get much needed upgrades

Upgraded technology will allow first responders to more effectively serve several southwest Georgia counties, including Early and Seminole.

COLQUITT, Ga. - Upgraded technology will allow first responders to more effectively serve several southwest Georgia counties, including Miller and Baker.

New technology will allow an E-911 dispatcher to know exactly where you are when you call them in your most desperate times. There will be a call screen where the dispatcher can explain exactly where the call came from. “This is of our utmost importance. It’s important to always have a safe and effective way to communicate with officers because that is the main focus when a call comes in. Also, the safety of them. We need to do a status check,” Butler said.

Representative Sanford Bishop helped secure nearly $4 million for the technology across South Georgia. It will assist Miller and Baker Counties as well as Calhoun, Colquitt, Decatur, Early, Grady, Mitchell, Seminole, Terrell, Thomas and Worth Counties.
