Alpharetta citizens, employees, guests and the media are invited to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for the opening of the new Alpharetta 911-Command and Control Center on Monday, January 26th at 6:00pm at the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety located at 2565 Old Milton Parkway, Alpharetta, GA 30009.
The new Alpharetta 911-Command and Control Center, better known as the “C-3.” The “C-3” incorporates advanced communications including video monitoring of traffic flow at major intersections and GPS tracking of police and fire vehicles. The “C-3” will monitor the physical location of all police, fire and ambulance vehicles within Alpharetta by utilizing AVL (automatic vehicle locator) technology. By using AVL technology, dispatchers will send the nearest public safety unit instead of relying on units in assigned zones. The response times will be lessened thus providing much quicker aid to citizens. Next to the “C-3” is the “EOC” Emergency Operations Center. This area will allow City officials and department heads to meet in one central location to plan, monitor and supervise emergency operations in the event of a major incident.
At this evening's ceremony, hot dogs and hamburgers with refreshments will be served hot off the grill!
