3�C <br /> Background Informatiou Regarding Orange County Communications Center's <br /> Relationship with Public/Private Alarms <br /> In 1977, Orange County implemented a county-wide 911 Emergency Communica- <br /> tiou Center. The Center began operating out of the old Police Station in Chapel <br /> Hill. <br /> At that time, the Town of Chapel Hill Dispatchers were monitoring Fire <br /> and Burglar alarms for the town. Carrboro and the Orange County Sheriff's <br /> Office were also monitoring similar alarms.
