OUR MISSION:

Decatur-Grady 911 is a public safety answering and dispatch point for police, fire, emergency medical and emergency management services within Decatur and Grady Counties. Our mission is to: serve as the communications link between the citizen and public safety agencies; fast and accurate activation of public safety services; provide communications support and coordination for all county public safety and support agencies.

In carrying out our mission, we recognize that service is our primary objective and we share a common, ongoing goal to provide it at the highest level possible. We also recognize that our strength and success is tied directly to the individual and unique contributions of each of us working in a spirit of cooperation and teamwork with our public safety associates both within and outside the center.
 

OUR HISTORY:

In April 1993, Decatur and Grady Counties signed an agreement to ensure that all citizens of Decatur and Grady Counties receive emergency service in time of need.  The counties agreed to combine efforts to provide a cost effective plan to deliver emergency service to citizens in both counties.   Ms. Jerri Slemons was the first 911 Director of the newly formed consolidated dispatch center, one of the first of its kind in the southeast.  In spite of having to evacuate the Communications Center because of the “100 Year Flood,"  Decatur-Grady 911 went “live” on July, 29, 1994.
Decatur-Grady 911 is a fully consolidated dispatch center, dispatching law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services for both counties.
