Fire, police, and rescue calls will all be handled from the new location
The Smokey Mountain News
Hayword County, N.C. — A $3 million project to build a central 911 dispatching center inside the Haywood County Sheriff’s Office aims to reduce response times for police, fire and rescue calls.
“It will provide a better, quicker, safer response for the citizens of Haywood County,” said Chief Deputy Jeff Haynes with the Haywood Sheriff’s Office. “When they pick the phone up and hit 911, they will get a rapid, efficient response. And that’s what we need to be zeroed in on at the end of the day.”
The 911 center is now housed in a cramped, off-site building across town. It will be brought under the same roof as the sheriff’s office and get all new equipment and technology.
