Jackson County Expands 911 Radio Coverage to Josephine County
What happened
Emergency Communications of Southern Oregon, the primary 911 center for Jackson County and Crater Lake National Park, expanded its radio coverage to parts of Josephine County. The new public safety radio system allows better communication between first responders, including law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency medical service personnel.

Why it matters
The new technology was funded by a $28 million bond that Jackson County voters approved in 2019. The improved communication infrastructure supports critical services across the county and into neighboring areas.
