Who We Are
The center was established in October 1976. It consolidated call receiving and dispatching for law enforcement, fire, emergency medical Services (EMS), and rescue organizations. Calls were then received on numerous seven digit numbers assigned to each separate agency. Basic 9-1-1 phone service was established and implemented in 1985. In 1993, a major improvement was made in 9-1-1 service countywide. This was the implementation of enhanced 9-1-1. With this came extensive street addressing countywide. The Davie County 911 Center is a separate department falling under the leadership of the Davie County Manager. Last year, for 2022, Davie County 911 Center processed 68,322 calls
