About Central Communications |
The Ritchie/Doddridge E911 center took its first 911 call on Thursday, Sept. 12th, 2002 at 4:35 PM. This Center is the result of the planning of the two County Commissions, who in 1999, incorporated Central Communications for the sole purpose of providing 911 service to the citizens of Doddridge and Ritchie Counties. The Center is housed in a building completed in June, 2002, and shared with the West Union WV State Police Detachment. CCI has 14 employees at full staffing: 9 Telecommunicators, 2 Mapping & Addressing employees, the Operations Manager, the Deputy Director and the Executive Director. The 911 center features the most current technologies for receiving, archiving and dispatching 911 calls to each respective emergency agency. These agencies include 8 Law Enforcement agencies, 2 EMS agencies, and 10 volunteer Fire Departments. CCI is currently re-modeling a facility in Pennsboro that will replace our current center, which will then become the back up 911 center. Plans are to occupy the building by mid - 2008. |
