GP 911 Communications Center Begins Releasing Weekly Statistics in 2024

The Grants Pass 9-1-1 Communications Center made a resolution to provide weekly statistics in 2024.

It's called the "Grants Pass 9-1-1 Communications Week in Review," and the agency just released its stats from January 11th through January 17th.

Total 9-1-1 calls received last week was 1,115 including 974 for the Grants Pass Police Department, 328 for American Medical Response and 101 for the Grants Pass Fire Department.

Rural Metro Fire Department received 60 9-1-1 calls last week while the Illinois Valley Fire Department received 29, Williams Rural Fire Protection District got 11, and the Wolf Creek Rural Fire Protection District and Oregon Department of Forestry each got two.

These "Partners in Protection" jointly ask motorists to slow down and drive safely as the weather continues to bring us rain, sleet and snow. Over the past week, first responders were dispatched to 26 vehicle crashes including three that had rolled.
