Grants

The Cook County Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB) was established in 1993 for the purpose of developing an enhanced 911 system for unincorporated Cook County and other municipalities. During 2001, the ETSB initiated a grant program designed to provide essential equipment to participating remote sites.

In October 2003, the Board of Directors voted to expand our assistance through a Surcharge Reallocation program designed to provide financial support to communications activities in contributing communities for both fire and police functions.

Our board is committed to supporting as many agencies as possible, to the extent financially feasible. 

If you have questions or require additional information, please contact Natasha Allen-Victor, Surcharge Reallocation Program Grant coordinator.

The Cook County Emergency Telephone System Board voted to continue assistance through the Surcharge Reallocation Program. The FY 2010 program is effective January 1, 2010 to November 20, 2010.
