More than two DOZEN public safety-focused agencies throughout Chatham County have contributed time and effort into the implementation of a new Computer Aided Dispatch System, which rolled out TODAY. 

Multiple law enforcement agencies are on that list, including the Chatham County Police Department. CCPD Chief Jeff Hadley details how information gathered by call takers using the new CAD system will help his officers as they respond to emergencies.

“Often times we respond to a general geographic area where we share jurisdictional boundaries. So for us to know what we’re dealing with at that moment in real time, is critical to officer safety, to the safety of the citizens and to handle the situation the best way we can,” said Hadley. “This has been a long process, two, three, four years in the making. So a lot of moving pieces, a lot of hard work has gone into it.” “This is going to be a tremendous public safety benefit for the officers and the community.”
