Governor Beshear announces funding to improve 911 services across Kentucky

Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear today announced the awarding of $1,449,548.76 in 911 grants; awards designed to enhance public safety services at Kentucky's 911 centers. The 2008 CMRS Grant Fund awards were provided to 15 local communities and agencies across the Commonwealth to upgrade 911 services and to improve the effectiveness and reliability of landline and wireless 911.

"Nine-one-one upgrades through the Commercial Mobile Radio Service Emergency Telecommunications Board are absolutely essential in helping protect our residents and guests. This latest effort, with emphasis on greatest statewide need, is further evidence of my emphasis on "taking care of Kentuckians first," said Gov. Beshear
