911

At the Wichita-Wilbarger 911 District, we see things differently. Our District has no difficulty staying current on emergency technology. The District has been one of the first agencies in the country to implement each of the major advances in 911 technology in the past 20 years, whether automatic location for land-line calls, automatic location technology for wireless, the ability to receive calls from internet-based phone services, or the ability to receive text-to-911 calls. We do not believe that we have been able to do this in spite of being a locally controlled agency, but because of it. Our district is able to control its own revenue. We are directly accountable to the citizens of our counties for the quality of the service we provide. The fact that the district is locally controlled means that we can efficiently allocate our resources in a way that is to the greatest advantage of our area... We believe that in order to maintain the Texas 911 system at its current high levels..
