THOMASVILLE, N.C. — The High Point Police Department is helping one of their own after an officer and his wife lost their home to a fire early Wednesday morning.
The home on Grace Drive belongs to High Point Police patrol officer Jason Cano and his wife Therese Varner, a 911 master
telecommunicator. While they are both luckily okay, their home is a total loss.
HOT SPRINGS — The city of Hot Springs plans to forfeit close to $500,000 a year instead of combining its 911 operations with Garland County’s, telling the Hot Springs Board of Directors last month that public safety won’t be served by consolidation.
In a new letter to Oakland, the state agency said it would not take further action. If 911 times do not continue to improve, OPD may be subject to referral to the Attorney General.
In the July episode of “Connect with County Leaders,” Fairfax County Executive Bryan Hill talks with Scott Brillman, director of the Department of Public Safety Communications (DPSC), also known as Fairfax County 9-1-1.
The conversation highlighted the center’s recent achievements and future plans to enhance emergency response services.
The Holbrook Regional Emergency Communications Center (HRECC) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a substantial grant of $20,883,162 from the Massachusetts State 911 Department. This grant, part of the Fiscal Year 2025 State 911 Department Regional Public Safety Answering Point and Regional Secondary Public Safety Answering Point and Regional Emergency Communications Center Development Grant Program, will significantly enhance HRECC’s capabilities and support public safety efforts across multiple communities.
