📢 Attention - Important Update:
CodeRED is being replaced and will no longer be available for Jefferson County 911 Dispatch notification alerts beginning in October, 2023. We are now registering Jefferson County citizens to receive notifications from our new emergency alert system, Everbridge.

Everbridge is an emergency alert system that works similar to CodeRED. It allows subscribers to receive alerts and information pertaining to police, fire, severe weather, health and safety. Registration is simple and you pick the delivery method: text, email, or a phone call. Scan the QR code or visit the website listed below to register.

Back to School Time! With area schools winding up for a new year we wanted to take a moment and remind everyone to be on the look out for buses on area roads.
