The Forsyth County 911 Center became a stand-alone department in October, when a restructuring shifted the center from beneath the jurisdiction of the Sheriff’s Office.

"Our service to the community will not be changed as a result of this restructuring," said 911 Center Director Pat Giordano. "We have a dedicated staff, committed to providing excellent service to the people of Forsyth County. When someone dials 911, they will continue to get assistance from the Sheriff’s Office, Fire Department and medical personnel."

The 911 Center dispatches to and serves the Fire Department, Sheriff’s Office and Rural/Metro ambulances, the county’s contracted provider of emergency medical transport services.
