MCECD 9-1-1 Links

9-1-1 is the most recognized and remembered phone number in the country.  When those digits are dialed, special procedures within phone company systems kick in to send the call and caller location to appropriate 9-1-1 call center.  A complex network of public safety agencies are in place to respond to each 9-1-1 call based on location and type of emergency.  The staff of Montgomery County 9-1-1 is proud to partner with the police, fire and emergency medical agencies on the front lines.  We are just a part of the process, but we are dedicated to develop and maintain systems to connect callers as effectively and efficiently as possible.
