Report
Summary
Regional 9-1-1 Services, located on the Phoenix Fire Department campus, provides 24-hour 9-1-1 system maintenance and oversees the installation of 9-1-1 equipment for 25 9-1-1 Centers throughout the Maricopa County Region. This service is paid for through monies distributed by the State of Arizona to the City. Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) is one of the 9-1-1 Centers for which Regional 9-1-1 Services provides state-funded 9-1-1 maintenance. MCSO has nine 9-1-1 special use designated call-taking equipment answering stations that require day-to-day maintenance and technical support, but do not meet the emergency 9-1-1 criteria to qualify for State-funded maintenance. Therefore, MCSO requires dedicated time and resources from the City of Phoenix Fire Department's Regional 9-1-1 Services Program to maintain this equipment, for which the City receives reimbursement.
