Big news from our friends at the communication center!

📢 BIG NEWS FOR ADAMS COUNTY! 📢

The Adams County Communications Center is officially LIVE with NGA Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1)! 🎉

We are proud to be the FIRST 9-1-1 center in the State of Ohio to go live with NGA’s Next Generation 9-1-1 technology.

So, what does that mean for our community?

NG9-1-1 brings newer, more advanced technology into our Communications Center and gives us a stronger foundation for how the public connects with 9-1-1, now and into the future.

📱 AND HERE'S THE BIG NEWS, TEXT-TO-911 IS AVAILABLE NOW!

If you are in an emergency and cannot safely make a voice call, you can text 9-1-1.

📱 TEXT if you can’t call.
📞 CALL if you can.

Calling 9-1-1 is still the best option when you are able to speak with a dispatcher. Texting is especially important when making a voice call may be unsafe or impossible.

And we're not finished yet!

🚨 COMING SOON, REAL-TIME TEXT (RTT)!

Adams County Communications Center is preparing to become the FIRST 9-1-1 center in Ohio to offer Real-Time Text with 9-1-1.

RTT is different from a normal text message. Instead of typing a complete message and pressing send, RTT allows the dispatcher to receive the text as it is being typed. That means communication can happen more like a live conversation when every second matters.

We are excited about what this technology means for Adams County and proud to continue moving our 9-1-1 system forward.

New technology. Stronger connections. Safer community.

💛 Same commitment, being here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, when it matters most.
