9-1-1. . When Seconds Count!

Welcome

A Message From the Director…

Welcome to the new website of the Rutherford County Emergency Communications District/911. Acting through its Board of Directors, staff, and the E911 Public Safety Answering Points supported by the District, our mission is to provide the most reliable and efficient Enhanced 911 system possible to the public.

Since its creation by public referendum in 1986, the District has witnessed numerous changes in telecommunications technology and reacted to the effects of these changes on the delivery of E911 emergency services to the citizens of Rutherford County. As we enter our twenty-third year, it will be no different as we respond to new challenges such as Voice Over Internet Protocol and various E911 technology changes required for meeting the demands of the public’s increasing use of wireless communication devices.

This revamped website is another example of adapting to these changes by assisting you in accessing the most up to date E911 information available that could some day make a difference “when seconds count.” The links we are posting on this website represent leading professional associations as well as governmental agencies associated with E911 at the national and state level.

Please check back often as we will be adding new features and capabilities in our continuing efforts to better inform and educate citizens about Enhanced 911.

Thank you for your interest in E911, and we welcome your comments or suggestions for improving this website.
