Emergency Services was recognized for initiating and implementing a regional 911 system. In May of 1996 Emergency Services began to aggressively market a regional call answer system. In 2003, 44 communities had signed agreements to be a part of this regional system and Emergency Services had reached 125 per cent of their original goal.
