Mission

The mission of the Emergency Communications Center and Emergency Management under the Department of Public Safety is to provide the people who live, work, and visit Carroll County with highly professional, well-coordinated public safety services.  Through teamwork, we foster cooperation between allied agencies and our department to achieve the goal of protecting life and property as well as supporting resiliency for all of Carroll County.

The Carroll County Department of Emergency Management and Communications is responsible for operating the Emergency Communications Center (911 services) and Emergency Management. The Department is also responsible for assigning street addresses for all areas of Carroll County except for the Town of Mt. Airy, Town of Manchester, and City of Taneytown.

Carroll County does not have the authority to assign or change  ZIP Code Area Assignments – the US Postal Service (USPS) is responsible for ZIP Code management. Please use the USPS Look Up A Zip Code Web Tool to determine the ZIP code for a particular address.
