[ October 12, 2022 ] Pickens County E-911, in partnership with the Georgia Emergency Communications Authority (GECA), announces the creation of Logan?s Law database, beginning October 6, 2022. This feature will help 9-1-1 operators to alert first responders that there are individuals in the home who may have special needs.

"In an emergency, safety is always a primary concern," said Kristy Easterwood, E-911 Director. "We are encouraging all Pickens County residents to call and register your family member who may have a special need into our database."

This feature helps us:

? Respond more compassionately once dispatched

? Identify any triggers that may be overwhelming to an individual

? Assist first responders in knowing who or what to look for

? Promote cost efficiency by providing the most appropriate response

? Reducing burden on law enforcement, public health and other safety resources
