Jasper County has a super enhanced 911 system. With all the publicity about 911 in the Metro Atlanta papers, there are many questions about when you need to dial 911. You should call 911 if you have any life-threatening emergency, any time you need someone (police, deputy, fire, EMS, or game warden) to respond to your location - for instance to report any crime in progress or prior, any time an incident report is needed (vandalism, burglaries, minor traffic accidents), things not considered life- threatening but requiring the need of an officer, or when you just don't know who to call.

When Not to Call 911

You should not call 911 when you need a telephone number, when you want to complain about county or city departments or officials, when you wish to find out information about an arrest (i.e. bond amounts, court dates, visiting hours), when you want to obtain information about court matters (i.e. warrants, court dates, traffic ticket information), when you want to obtain special dates (i.e. hunting seasons, festival dates, town meetings), when you want to obtain information on weather conditions, road conditions, or power outages.
