Greetings,

Vote YES on Prop E911, Tues. Nov. 3!

st louis Jobs with Justice has endorsed County Ballot Initiative E911, a measure that is proposed by and greatly impacts our St. Louis County Firefighters.  This measure will be on all ballots in St. Louis County.

Proposition E911 provides the funds necessary to improve the most critical emergency communications that affect all citizens. Better communication means faster response times and more effective coordination of emergency services.  This measure will literally save lives.

Voting Information

 

Here’s what Proposition E911 would provide:

·         Up-to-date 911 technology so that individuals placing emergency calls from their cell phones can be located quickly and reliably.

·         Replacement of outdated radio systems that police, firefighters and paramedics rely on to protect all St. Louis County citizens --- those living in municipalities as well as those living in unincorporated St. Louis County.

·         A shared set of frequencies so that in times of emergency they can better coordinate lifesaving services through a compatible system.

·         Compliance with federal requirements that all public safety communications improve their radio frequencies in 2012.

·         An Improved emergency siren system coverage and performance so that the sirens protect all of St. Louis County.

·         At one-tenth of one cent, Proposition E911 will add only one dime to a $100 purchase.
