The referendum passed in by a margin of more than 75%. Enhanced 9-1-1 service provides the caller’s name, address, phone number and a listing of emergency responders that provide service to that address. This group’s efforts prompted the Peoria County Board to place a referendum on the 1989 ballot asking voters if they wished to pay $.80 per month on their phone bill to provide Enhanced 9-1-1 service. At that time, there was no 9-1-1 service in Bartonville or any other area of Peoria County.įollowing a highly publicized incident in rural Peoria County where 9-1-1 service was not available, a grassroots effort was mounted in late 1988 that lead to the formation of a group called Citizens for Enhanced 9-1-1. In March 1983 the City of Chillicothe installed basic 9-1-1 for citizens that had a 274 phone prefix. Basic 9-1-1 did not provide any location technology. This service covered phone exchanges inside the City of Peoria, Peoria Heights, West Peoria, part of Limestone Township, Kickapoo, and Norwood. The three-digit number first came to our area in January 1976, when the City of Peoria installed basic 9-1-1 service.
For 30 years they have been the ones to help people through their emergencies, in what can often be one of the most traumatic times in their life.” “They are the first of the first responders. “On behalf of the Emergency Telephone System Board, I would like to thank all the 9-1-1 telecommunicators in our region who answer 9-1-1 calls day and night, every day of the year,” said David Tuttle, Chairperson of the ETSB. In that time, 9-1-1 telecommunicators have answered more than 3.1 million 9-1-1 calls for Peoria County. There is no need to separate your plastics, glass, or paper products.On June 15, 2023, Peoria County will observe 30 years of enhanced 9-1-1 service.
