Bamberg County 9-1-1 Center Lists Agencies, Provides Non-Emergency Contacts

Dispatch Supervisor Aisha Bryant heads Bamberg County Communications, the county’s primary Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), which operates "24 hours a day/7 days a week" and lists a non-emergency phone number of (803) 245-3000 for administrative inquiries and non-emergency calls. The communications center's stated mission is "To receive 911 emergency and non-emergency calls and dispatch emergency responders (Police, Fire and Medical) to various locations as requested by the citizens."

The county website lists the Communications office location in the Bamberg County Courthouse Annex at the Isaiah Odom Building, 1234 North Street, Bamberg SC 29003, with a mailing address of PO Box 149, Bamberg, SC 29003. The site footer also displays a county phone of (803) 245-5191 and a fax of (803) 245-1219 alongside the VC3 Logo; the Communications page separately identifies (803) 245-3000 as the center's non-emergency contact.

The Communications page states plainly, "We are the primary Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for Bamberg County. We provide services for:" but the list of agencies served does not appear on the page extract available for this report. Under "Other Functions" the page lists two items verbatim: "1. Maintaining accurate communications records using various computers." and "2. Providing 24-hour support for various departments such as:", the examples that follow the colon were not shown in the site material reviewed.

Operational details beyond the 24/7 staffing statement are limited on the public page. The Communications listing confirms responsibility for dispatching Police, Fire and Medical responders but does not include call-volume figures, response-time metrics, shift staffing numbers, or specific technology names for records and dispatch systems. The page displays the VC3 Logo in the footer but provides no explicit explanation of VC3's role with the county communications systems.

Several items on the county web pages are truncated or duplicated in the public text: an incomplete sentence appears as "The communications func", and the footer shows repeated digits in the lines "(803) 245-5191 245-5191)" and "Fax: (803) 245-1219 245-1219)". The Communications page nevertheless provides a clear frontline point of contact for non-emergency administrative calls at (803) 245-3000 and identifies Aisha Bryant as Dispatch Supervisor, while the courthouse annex address and PO Box offer physical and mailing locations for county inquiries.
