We do not dispatch Police Departments. Calls for all police agencies continue to be transferred to their respective jurisdictions. We currently use 12 different UHF and VHF frequencies with several repeater sites. Future plans call for a county-wide 800MHz trunking system. As an added bonus, most of our employees are Emergency Medical Technicians, ranging in experience from Basic to Paramedic.
Some employees also serve as members of volunteer fire departments in the county.
Our center is, we feel, the best in Alabama and strives to be the best in the nation. We have 4 console positions, with the capability of expanding to 8 positions. Our building was designed to withstand winds of 175 MPH, equivalent to a category 5 hurricane. We are self-sufficient in the event that power and water service is lost. We have 1 primary generator as well as a smaller generator, in the event that the primary generator fails.
