EBRP Communications District Board of Commissioners Meetings

The East Baton Rouge Parish Communications District is a political subdivision of the State of Louisiana. It was created in 1986 pursuant to La. R.S. 33:9101 et seq. The District is governed by a seven member Board of Commissioners, and is funded by the 911 surcharges collected on land and wireless telephone services that originate within East Baton Rouge Parish. The District maintains and operates the Parish 911 emergency telephone system, and serves as the Parish’s primary Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). Like many communication districts in the State, the District has adopted the “transfer method” of handling 911 calls: it receives telephone requests for emergency services and directly transfers such requests to an appropriate public safety agency or other providers of emergency services.
