No matter where you live in Columbia County, there's a 9-1-1 Communications Board member near you - someone who can listen to your concerns and answer your questions. The five-person Board of Directors represents zones throughout the county and consists of citizens you elect from your communities. Board members ensure that the District is well managed, cost conscious and efficient, while focusing on safety and security for all residents in the county.
To further ensure that the District is functioning for maximum safety and efficiency, an Advisory Board meets regularly. This board is comprised of chiefs from every public safety and emergency agency in Columbia County.
Finally, the District's Budget Committee works diligently to find the best ways to maintain and enhance services at the lowest possible cost.
