Who answers when 911 is called?

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

What happens if I accidentally dial 911?

911 call centers receive thousands of accidental calls to 911, which could cause a delay in service for real emergencies. Please help us avoid calls by doing the following:

Lock your cell phone so it doesn’t accidentally dial 911.

Take the battery out before allowing children to play with old cell phones; they still can dial 911.

Do not hang up if you accidentally dial 911. Stay on the line and notify the telecommunicator of the mistake.
