In conjunction with the 9-1-1 Public Educators of Texas, the Communications Division is involved in educating our community about the proper use of 9-1-1 and how the Division handles emergency and non-emergency calls. We provide tours of the Emergency Dispatch Center, attend health and safety fairs, participate in Career Days at local schools as well as attend community events. We distribute educational materials as well as answer any questions.
For more information regarding 9-1-1 operations or to request a 9-1-1 Public Educator at your community event, please contact the 9-1-1 Coordinator at 713-755-6911.
