Yazoo covers the largest area of any county in the State of Mississippi, USA. Their command & control center is a busy hub combining centralized dispatch for the Yazoo County Sheriff’s Office, Yazoo City, Yazoo Fire Department, and Law Enforcement / Police for the Cities of Yazoo, Sataria, Eden and Betonia in addition to 9 volunteer fire departments throughout Yazoo County.
Managing these complex communications with only 2 operator positions, EMA Director Jack Willingham and the Board of Supervisors saw that their dispatch system needed to have more functionality and also be easily expandable in the future. They were looking for a dispatch solution that is flexible and cost competitive to meet the ongoing radio communications needs of Yazoo county.
