Franklin County Sheriff's Department.

Franklin County, Ohio Sheriff's Department BSSA Unit #11.

After the terror attack on September 11, 2001, the agencies that responded to assist found that, as they were on different radio systems, and different radio frequencies, they could not communicate with one another. As a result, communications "Interoperability", or the means for different agenciesto be able to communicate has become a priority for the Law Enforcement and Fire Services. In Ohio, The Ohio Emergency Management Agency, in partner with Buckeye State Sheriff's Association, created 11 vehicles that would be located throughout the state to respond to any terroist or natural disaster, in order to provide the means to which differing agencies can communicate with each other at a scene. In Franklin County, they operate BSSA Unit #11, ready to respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The crew consists of 3 commisioned Deputies and 8 communications Technicians, their service and that of Unit #11, is performed and dedicated to the memory of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001, hence the special radio call number, Nine - Eleven.
