The Cobb County Department of Emergency Communications (DEC) is proud to announce major technology upgrades that will make emergency responses faster, smarter, and more reliable.

With these upgrades, callers can now stream video directly to 911 professionals from the scene of an incident. And for some non-English speaking callers, real-time translation capabilities will provide additional support, allowing calltakers to process emergencies more effectively and communicate across language barriers.
