Washington County 9-1-1 Public Education Program

WCCCA’s Public Education Program focuses on educating the citizens of Washington County on the proper use of 9-1-1 in order to obtain help during an emergency. We are also committed to raising awareness about 9-1-1 by sharing our successes, job opportunities, and current or upcoming legislation and levies.

Some of the topics we cover are:

• When to call 9-1-1
• When to call the non-emergency number
• Typical questions that we will be asking as well as what kind of information our call takers and public safety responders will be looking for
• Our geographic service area and the public safety agencies that we serve
• Prevention of accidental 9-1-1 phone calls
• Our Community Notification System (CNS)

Our training opportunities include, but are not limited to:

• Classroom presentations, including day care centers, pre-school, kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high schools.
• Workplace presentations
• Senior and Community Centers
• Church groups
• Job fairs, public safety fairs, community events, etc.
• Individual presentations, as requested.
