IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY: Dial 911
In May 1993, the voters of Vermilion Parish approved the establishment of an Enhanced 911 system. After a lengthy project, which involved the planning, addressing and thorough testing of communications equipment, the system went online September 3, 1996.
The 911 Center is operated 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with two dispatchers on duty at all times. The 911 service allows citizens to dial “911” for any emergency situation and the 911 center will direct your call to the proper agency. Law enforcement and Medical calls are directed to the responding agencies (VPSO, local Police Departments and Acadian Ambulance). For fire and medical calls the District serves as dispatch for the parishes 15 fire departments.
The 911 center averages about 2000 calls per month, and is continually looking at ways to enhance its service for the citizens and visitors of Vermilion Parish.
Any information regarding the 911 system can be obtained by contacting the administrative office at 337-898-4350.
