Carthage,
NC: The County of Moore has completed
the process/plan mandated by the NC 911 Board to establish a back-up E-911
center. This plan was required by the NC
911 Board to ensure continuity of operation in the event of disaster or damage
to the primary E-911 center. Moore
County Department of Public Safety applied for NC 911 Board grant funds to
purchase and install the necessary equipment for the back-up center. The grant from the NC 911 was for $586,404.
Funds from the NC 911 grant were also used to purchase
Locution Computer Automated Voice Alerting System. The benefits of Locution
include increasing the efficiency of the 911 dispatchers and improving dispatch
and response times. The Locution implementation is scheduled for the beginning
of 2018.
