E-911 Dispatch Center Matt Hromalik, Director 41 Hospital Street Hours: 24/7/365 This office provides emergency dispatch services for all Union County law enforcement and disaster agencies. All dispatchers are required to attend training and become certified by the State of Georgia. The Union County 911 Advisory Board provides oversight over this department. The Dispatch Center is in the process of upgrading to C.A.D. (computer aided dispatch) system in the near future. This should help us better serve the citizens of union county. In addition to dispatching for the Union County Sheriff, Blairsville Police Department, Fire & Rescue, Emergency Management Agency and Volunteer Fire Departments, they monitor the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) weather, Forest service and other related state and local agencies. They also monitor alarms, both silent and audible, and dispatch the appropriate agency for response. The Department has received more than $200,000 worth of the latest in state-of-the art equipment which enables them to quickly identify the locations of emergency callers. They are also linked to the State of Georgia and national crime information centers. This office maintains recordings of all 911 calls and is often called upon to testify in court proceedings.
