The Chattooga County EMA E911 is actively seeking dedicated individuals to join their essential team as full-time Communications Officers, commonly known as 911 Dispatchers. The agency highlights the profound impact these roles have on public safety, referring to them as the “unseen heroes” of emergency response.

A recent announcement from Chattooga County EMA E911 emphasized the critical nature of the dispatch role: “It all starts with the call…The voice behind the mic. The unseen, unknown friend that is there with you in your sometimes darkest moments…keeping you calm and sending you the help you need.. The strong voice on the other end of the line telling you to keep holding on, you’re not alone- help is coming to you. The unseen hero who’s only a phone call away.”
