Chattooga County EMA E-911 is looking to grow its public safety team and is now hiring full-time Communications Officers.

Dispatchers are often the first point of contact in an emergency—answering 911 calls, gathering critical information, and coordinating the response from law enforcement, fire, and EMS. Officials say the job is about more than sending help. It’s also about being the steady voice on the other end of the line—helping callers stay calm, giving instructions when needed, and letting people know they are not alone while help is on the way.

Chattooga County EMA E-911 says anyone who feels called to serve the community in this behind-the-scenes role is encouraged to reach out for details about the opening.

To inquire about the position, call the Chattooga County EMA E-911 non-emergency number at 706-857-3400 and select option 1 or option 2.
