| | The Telegraph - News - 08/16/2002 - Macoupin County to have 911 service by September (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) |
 | | There currently are only a handful of municipalities in the county that have their own 911 systems in place, including Gillespie, Mount Olive, Virden, Staunton and Carlinville. |
 | | At the same time, the Macoupin County Emergency Telephone Systems Board is working to implement a permanent, enhanced 911 system that will take the place of the temporary system once it is up and running, Pitchford said. |
 | | For example, he said the caller will need to tell a dispatcher what kind of emergency they are having, the house number and street where the emergency is occurring, the location's telephone number and their name. |
