A Message from the Chief
As Chief, it is my honor to lead a team of dedicated public safety professionals who serve as the first link in the emergency response chain for our community. Our mission is simple but vital: to provide fast, accurate, and compassionate emergency communications to the residents, visitors, and first responders of Jefferson County.
Every call matters, and every second counts. That’s why we are committed to continuous improvement, cutting-edge technology, and ongoing training that empowers our team to respond swiftly and effectively—no matter the situation. We work in close partnership with law enforcement, fire departments, EMS, and other agencies to ensure that help is on the way when you need it most.
Whether you’re here to learn more about how 911 works, explore a career in emergency communications, or find ways to support our mission, I thank you for taking the time to visit. We are proud to serve, and we are always striving to do more, be better, and lead with integrity.
On behalf of the entire Jefferson County 911 team—thank you for trusting us when it matters most.
Sincerely,
John Whitehead, MPSA, ENP
