Collaboration
of ECD & ECC

The Emergency Communications District (ECD) exists to support the functions of 911—to correctly route calls, answer the calls, and dispatch resources or transfer a call based on the needs or location of the caller. Because the Emergency Communications Center (ECC) handles a large majority of the calls originating in Sumner County, the ECD collaborates with the ECC to support the ECC functions. The ECD begins by having staff who maintain GIS data for all of Sumner County. All addresses and street names, among other data, are loaded onto computer aided dispatch software used by telecommunicators and field responders for the accurate location of those in need.

The ECD employs a systems administrator who maintains nearly all of the hardware and software needed to properly run the ECC. Servers, CAD stations, telephones, software for unit recommendations, and updates are just a few areas of focus that must work together seamlessly to process calls and dispatch resources. The ECD also purchases much of the equipment used by the ECC. The ECD purchased the CAD software used by the ECC to properly process calls for service.  Training is vital to the success of our mission. The ECD funds a significant amount of training for our ECC telecommunicators. This includes initial training, required recertifications, specialized training, and conferences.
