Bonner County 9-1-1 |
|
One of the many services provided to you by your local government is 9-1-1. This single telephone number to call for any and all emergency services has saved countless lives over the years.
Idaho Code (Title 31, Chapter 48) makes each county board of commissioners responsible for providing this service to you. The result of this is that when you call for help, the 9-1-1 operator is someone who lives right here in your community. Not only are they very familiar with our area, they care deeply because they are a part of your community.
Bonner County created a combined 9-1-1 center in 1998. This new center was responsible for answering all 9-1-1 telephone calls within the county and dispatching all public safety agencies responding to calls in the county. In 2004 the Bonner County Board of County Commissioners created a new, state-of-the-art facility. |
