Who answers when 911 is called?

  • The very first emergency personnel you speak with is one of our telecommunicators at Hardin County Control. They obtain all pertinent information from the caller and dispatch the appropriate agency. Telecommunicators are responsible for obtaining, documenting, disseminating and tracking activities and information for sheriff’s deputies and police, fire and EMS departments. Telecommunicators shall also offer pre-arrival instructions such as Telephone CPR and controlled bleeding techniques until help arrives.

How do I avoid accidental dials to 911?

  • 911 call centers receive thousands of accidental calls to 911, which could cause a delay in service for real emergencies.
  • Lock your cell phone so it doesn’t accidentally dial 911.
  • Take the battery out before allowing children to play with an old cell phone as even without service they still can dial 911.
  • Do not hang up if you accidentally dial 911. Stay on the line and tell the telecommunicator there isn’t an emergency.
