MOBILE:   Today 15 from Dothan - Houston County traveled to Mobile to tour the Mobile 911 Center. Those who traveled were from Dothan - Houston County E911 Advisory Committee, Dothan - Houston County 911 Board, Dothan Police, Dothan IT, Houston County Sheriff Department, and Dothan - Houston County EMA.


The Mobile County 911 Center is home for Mobile County E911 Staff. The 911 department employs call takers. That is persons who only answer the 911 lines. The information is taken and entered into the CAD ( Computer Aided Dispatch ) and forwarded electronically to the agency which will respond. Voice calls on crimes in progress or calls requiring emergency medical dispatch are transfered to the agency which will respond.


The 911 center is a co-located agency. In the building, Mobile County Sheriff Department has their own dispatchers, Mobile Police has their own dispatchers, Mobile Fire - Rescue has their own dispatchers, and the volunteer fire - rescue have their own dispatchers.


Today’s tour gave the decision makers for Dothan - Houston County a opportunity to see the new equipment and flor plan. The tour will enable a visual insight into what things will look like in the new facilty for Dothan - Houston County.


The new center, which floor plan design is underway, is a $ 7 million dollar project with some 17,000 square feet. The center will be home for Dothan Police, Dothan Fire, Houston County Sheriff Communications, Dothan - Houston County Emergency Management and Dothan - Houston County E-911.


Currently all 911 calls are answered by Dothan Police and Houston County Sheriff Department. Dothan Police handles dispatch for Dothan Police and Dothan Fire and Pilcher Ambulance. Houston County Sheriff handles dispatch for all Sheriff Department, all municipal law enforcement in Houston County except Dothan Police, all 17 volunteer fire in Houston County, all 5 volunteer rescue and Pilcher Ambulance on calls in the county.


The co-located facilty should enchance services. A lot of planning is going into the design and implementation of the center.
