Milton residents can now use the Smart911 notification system to increase the information available for first responders in an emergency situation.
The City of Decatur website announces the arrival of Smart911, a service now being offered by the city, which “allows residents to create a safety profile of vital personal and household data, including household members, photos, medications or medical conditions and even pets, which will be displayed to 911 call takers immediately when a resident places an emergency call.”
Jeffrey Harter, a dispatcher with the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office, recently received a national award for helping save the life of a choking victim.

A town hall meeting led by Benton Police Chief Kirk Lane and Fire Chief Bill Ford was held Thursday night to present residents a software program titled “Smart911”
If a Benton resident dials 911 and reports an emergency; police, fire or emergency medical personnel respond as soon as possible. Dispatchers know who you are and where you live, but they may lack other vital information to help you and also keep the first responders safe.
Aiken County residents can register for Smart911 in Wagener on Saturday.
