911 CONSOLE IMPROVES COMMUNICATIONS - Instant Recall Recorder Also Installed

(01/30/2001)
"The old piece-meal console has been retired," according to 911 Director, Barry Pitts. Miller Communications installed a new system last night at the 911 center at Mount Zion. "It will improve communications to our emergency services," he said. The central dispatch voice was clearer and sharper during initial tests.

A new Instant Recall Recorder was installed above the radio console. The device will allow for immediate replays of callers who give directions and further checks are needed.
