‘Next generation 9-1-1’ system to cost Stafford over $800K, includes texting option

The Stafford County Sheriff’s Department will be getting a new 9-1-1 emergency calling system that will cost $807, 540, to serve more than 136,000 Stafford County residents.

According to Carol Adams, ECC Director at the Stafford Sheriff’s Department, the changes are necessary, as the current emergency calling system has become obsolete.

“The current system that we’re using was installed in the mid-90s, and it was upgraded about eight years ago when we moved into this [current] building. But it has reached its end of life and is no longer supported by the vendor. So we were in a position where we had to go and look for something else,” Adams said.
