E-911 / Emergency Management
The mission of the Frankfort/Franklin County E911 Dispatch Center is to serve the citizens and visitors of this community by answering both emergency and non-emergency calls for service and dispatching the appropriate agency to that call as needed.
It is our goal to handle all such requests in a courteous, professional, expeditious manner in order to reduce/minimize as much as possible the injury, loss, and/or trauma associated with that specific incident.

We answer calls for service and dispatch for the Frankfort Police, Frankfort Fire&EMS, Franklin County Fire, Frankfort/Franklin County Emergency Management, Franklin County Sheriff's Department, Franklin County Coroner and Frankfort / Franklin County Animal Control.
