Delaware County Emergency Communications

About the Delaware County Emergency Communications Center
Delaware County Emergency Communications Center, also known as, Delaware County E911, operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is responsible for answering all 911 and non-emergency calls for the citizens of Delaware County, Indiana. Communications personnel also dispatch Police, Fire, and Emergency Medical Services for the city of Muncie and rural areas of Delaware County. The citizens of Delaware County are provided quick access to emergency services by a team of 38 personnel.

The Emergency Communications Center (ECC) is the county's central command post to manage and coordinate major events and emergency responses. Equipped with three, wall-mounted LCD screens displaying situational awareness applications; the center was designed for command and control purposes.

The ECC provides complete communications capabilities for all police, fire, medical, city, and county emergency agencies. The center operates a world-class voice and data radio system, providing police and EMS/Fire personnel on the street, with valuable information to help them respond quickly to emergency situations.

New World Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) software enables personnel to display stored or current information and connect externally to state and federal databases. GPS mapping software allows the ability to track the location of 911 callers via landlines or GPS-capable devices. Approximately 350,000 calls are processed annually through the communications center.

The ECC utilizes language interpretation services that can interpret more than 140 languages in the event a 911 is received and the operator encounters a language barrier. The center is also equipped with Teletypewriter (TTY), as used by the hearing impaired to read voice communications converted to text.

Eight workstations are equipped with a high-end radio switch allowing all public safety agencies to communicate or create an audio bridge for patching communications during a crisis. Each position is equipped with six PLANAR 20-inch flat screens with added touch-screen capabilities. T1 uplink allows the ECC to send and receive data from the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) as well as State and other entities throughout Indiana.

Today, DC911 protects life and property by operating a world-class public safety communications system and by coordinating and managing emergency situations. The agency continues to evolve as a progressive communications and operations center dedicated to the community it serves.

Incident Management

IM_2 IM_1
EMA Staff providing Incident Management Support for a missing child

Routinely public safety personnel and emergency managers respond to natural, technological, or civil emergencies throughout Muncie and Delaware County. Occasionally, these events reach a magnitude that is beyond the response capability of local or county-level resources. Events of this nature may require the support of adjoining jurisdictions including cities, counties, the State of Indiana, adjoining states, and federal resources.

Given an emergency of extraordinary scale, these events may be formally declared a disaster by the Governor of Indiana and by the President of the United States. The State of Indiana's response to state and federal-level disasters is managed by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security in the State Emergency Operations Center. The State of Indiana Emergency Operations Center, located on the lower level of the Indiana Government Center, functions as a central coordination center for subject matter experts and key organization personnel who facilitate an effective, direct, and coordinated response to the needs of the citizens of Indiana in the event of a natural disaster or significant events.

Family Support Division

Eric Hoffman

Eric M. Hoffman

Prosecuting Attorney

46th Judicial Circuit of Indiana

Delaware County

Welcome to the Family Support division of the Delaware County Prosecutor’s Office where you will find information about the office and the many public services we provide.

Mission Statement

The mission of the child support program is to enhance the well-being of children by assuring that assistance in obtaining support, including financial and medical, is available to children through locating parents, establishing paternity, establishing support obligations, and monitoring and enforcing those obligations.

Introduction

In 1975, Congress enacted legislation under the Social Security Act (Title IV-D) to require the states to establish programs to establish paternity and establish and collect child support orders for both AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) and non-AFDC cases. The State of Indiana contracts with local county prosecutor's offices to provide these services. In addition to paternity duties and establishing and enforcing child support, this office also establishes orders for health insurance where appropriate and regularly deals with other issues related to child support such as modification of support, emancipation questions, locating absent parents, review and adjustment of support orders, support in foster care cases, collection of medical reimbursement for parents and criminal felony nonsupport cases.

Child Support Enforcement Program

In association with the State of Indiana and the United States Federal Government, the Delaware County Prosecuting Attorney operates the Title IV-D Child Support Program in Delaware County to collect support for children living with only one parent or with another custodian. The Delaware County Family Support Division is responsible for the establishment and enforcement of child support orders, for the benefit of dependent children. The services of the Delaware County Child Support Division are available to all residents of Delaware County, Indiana. These services include:

Establishment of paternity for children born out of wedlock. After establishment, court orders will be entered, providing for child support payments of future medical expenses for children;
Establishment of child support orders when there is no existing child support order;
Enforcement of an existing child support order;
Modification of an existing child support order;
Locating non-custodial parents responsible for supporting their children; and/or
Actions to enforce child support orders in other states and foreign countries, if applicable.

The Delaware County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, in cooperation with the Attorney General, is using more aggressive tools to obtain payment from parents not living up to their obligations. Some of these tools include suspension of licenses, liens on property, interception of taxes, passport denial and withholding income.

Family Support services are available to anyone with legal custody of the minor child(ren), regardless of socioeconomic level. The Family Support Division can establish paternity for children born out of wedlock, establish a support order where a Family Support does not currently exist, and enforce and modify existing support orders.

Our Family Support Division has been successful in enforcing and collecting current and past due Family Support. However, this office is prohibited under state and federal law from becoming involved in custody and visitation issues. You must contact a private attorney for those issues.

ArcGIS Online Map Gallery

We provide a large number of online interactive maps through ArcGIS Online that are easily viewed on desktop computers or mobile devices. Visit our map gallery to view all the available maps and applications.

Open Data

We have been working to make as much of the data we maintain available through web-based applications for ease of access and use. In addition, much of our data is available for download as well through our Open Data site located at: maps-delcogis.opendata.arcgis.com

What is GIS?

The Delaware County Office Information (OOI) manages the County's Geographic Information System (GIS). A GIS is a computer-based mapping system that relates various types of data and information with real-world locations.

The Delaware County OOI has three primary goals:

To efficiently create and maintain a state-of-the-art GIS that accurately and comprehensively represents all relevant and useful geographic data and information about the County
To deliver this data to the general public, private sector clients, and associated governmental agencies
To provide expert GIS consulting and application development

The basis of Delaware County's GIS is its library of GIS data layers. These layers provide a comprehensive representation of the County's property fabric; basic infrastructure; environment; recreational facilities; governmental structure and facilities; emergency services infrastructure and facilities; and transportation network.

These GIS data layers are developed and maintained by the OOI and other County Departments utilizing ESRI's suite of ArcGIS software.

What do we do?

As an enterprise GIS, one key objective of the OOI is to seamlessly integrate GIS into the daily workflows of County and City Departments and partner organizations. In other counties and organizations, GIS integration has provided time and cost savings, improved analysis capabilities, and enhanced decision-making capabilities. Therefore, in order to facilitate GIS integration, the OOI provides consulting services to its internal County agencies as well as its partner organizations. The OOI examines business practices for departments and develops recommended areas for applying GIS to daily tasks. Under certain circumstances, the OOI also will develop custom applications to meet the needs of County departments and partner organizations.

We provide Geographic Information support to all government agencies, citizens, community organizations, and many others.
Information and geographic support include, but is not limited to:

Management of the county's web-based applications, website, and social media accounts.
printed and digital map creation
custom web-based map applications
web-based data collection applications
geographic analysis
address geocoding
suitability studies
land analysis
hazard analysis
field data collection
spatial data collection
environmental analysis
inventory management
geographic systems education and presentations
integration of GIS into government offices
cartographic and graphic design

Why GIS?

Nearly 80% of information housed in government is geographic in some way. In order to make informed and accurate decisions, all geographic information involved with a certain area must be known and understood. Efficient delivery and presentation of this geographic data is what we are all about.

Our ultimate goal is to make County GIS information accessible from anywhere, by whoever needs it.
