Martin County Sheriff’s Office Launches Project to Enhance 9-1-1 Services

MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — A project is underway to improve 911 emergency response services in Martin County.

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) says that from Wednesday to February 3, deputies, including field technicians from the firm GeoComm, will visit certain Martin County homes to confirm addresses and street names. A map provided by the sheriff’s office shows where deputies will be conducting service in Jensen Beach, Ocean Breeze, Rio, North River Shores, Sewall’s Point, and Palm City.

MCSO says the process is important because it ensures that emergency responders can quickly and accurately locate an individual when needed.

Vehicles conducting the work will have a GeoComm logo on the dashboard. The sheriff’s office says a field technician will only need to verify the street and address, which means a vehicle may pull up to a resident’s driveway and leave. Technicians will not speak to homeowners.

Technicians will never ask residents to walk out of their homes, MCSO says.

Residents who have questions should contact the Martin County Sheriff’s Office at 1-772-220-7170. The sheriff’s office says dispatchers do have the model and plate numbers of cars conducting the service, but if a resident is concerned, they can contact the sheriff’s office.
