911 Communications
Maurice Cook
Sheriff 911
The primary goal of a 911 communication department is to save lives and ensure public safety by efficiently connecting
people in emergencies with the right first responders (police, fire, EMS). This involves being the crucial first link,
gathering critical information quickly, dispatching resources effectively, providing pre-arrival instructions (like first aid),
and maintaining reliable secure, and interoperable communication system for the entire emergency.
Bastrop County Communication provides Bastrop County with a reliable, cost-effective and state-of-the-art
Communications Center that oversees the 24/7 day-to-day operations and management of all calls placed. This
department also functions to ensure that all calls received are managed with lifesaving responsiveness as a top
priority.
