Chenango receives grant to improve 9-1-1 call center
CHENANGO – Chenango County is among 57 counties across the state that will receive $10 million in operations grants, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Wednesday.
According to the governor’s office, public safety answering points operations grants that are administered through the State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services will help improve 9-1-1 response and emergency dispatching.
Public safety answering points are public safety facilities where incoming 9-1-1 calls are received and emergency services are dispatched.
Chenango County is slated to get $170,855, which Gov. Cuomo says will help them acquire the “resources they need.”
“In an emergency, every second counts,” Cuomo said in a media statement. “With these investments, we’re helping to ensure our first responders have resources they need and access to the most up-to-date technology available in order to better respond to New Yorkers in the moment of need.”
Neighboring counties are also set to receive public safety answering point grants. Broome County will get $209,703; Cortland County will receive $151,001; Delaware will receive $154,732; Madison will receive $158,368; and Otsego will receive $157,260.
The public safety answering points operations grant program was started by Gov. Cuomo in 2014, and is non-competitive and formula based. All 57 counties and New York City chose to participate in the program again this year.
Proponents of the grant program say it not only helps county operators offset their day-to-day expenses, but can also foster upgrades in call-taking and dispatch emergency services. What’s more, grants have helped some municipalities incorporate new emergency call services, including text messaging, data communication, and improved geo-location for emergency response.
