Upgraded technology will allow first responders to more effectively serve several southwest Georgia counties, including Miller and Baker. “Public safety communication is vital — where the call came from and where the problem is,” Miller County Sheriff Jimmy Holt said. New technology will allow an E-911 dispatcher to know exactly where you are when you call them in your most desperate times. There will be a call screen where the dispatcher can explain exactly where the call came from. “The [current] system that we’ve got is so outdated that we have to cross our fingers that it won’t tear up,” Miller County Manager Doug Cofty said. The new system will be more reliable and takes the call center into the 21st century. The E-911 call center in Colquitt serves both Miller County and neighboring Baker County.
