The Mountain Brook City Council, at its regular meeting for Monday, July 26, approved a contract with a provider of E-911 services for the city.
The three-year contract is between the Mountain Brook Emergency Communications District and the Shelby County Emergency Communications District.
Shelby E-911 will provide call answering and public safety dispatch services for Mountain Brook.
In addition to Mountain Brook, Shelby E-911 also provides these services for some other emergency communications districts and communities in Shelby and Jefferson counties.
E-911 services for Mountain Brook are currently provided by dispatchers employed in-house and supervised by police personnel.
The contract must still be approved by the Shelby County Emergency Communications District, said Mountain Brook Police Chief Ted Cook.
