A word from the Administrator
Gasconade County E-911 has come a long way
since it’s beginning 1995. Having the capability to locate a 911
call on a digital map from a cellular telephone wasn’t even
thought of. In it’s early stages, Gasconade County’s 911 Dispatchers used a
typewriter to log information received over the telephone and
radio. Now we use a complex CAD system that does some of the
work for us. Our call volume has also risen over the years from
under 50 per month to an average of 500 per month. More than 50%
of these calls are now made from Cellular phones.
In pressing three digits, our residence and
visitors have access to a professionally trained dispatcher who
has access to the most up to date tools needed to properly and
professionally handle any emergency call. We commit ourselves to
excellence when it comes to serving the agencies to which we
dispatch, along with the citizens and visitors of Gasconade County.
Remember, your worst day is our
workday, and we stand ready to assist you when you need us, from
the voices behind the rescue…..be safe.
Feel free to contact me anytime
and thank you for visiting our web site, I hope you find it
useful and informational.
