The Nowata County Commissioners hold a lengthy discussion over E911 services. Lance Terry from the Oklahoma 911 Authority provided several options on how to go about enacting E911 services.  The county has the option share servers with a neighboring county but answer its own calls, keep the entire operation in the county or let a neighboring county handle all dispatching. Terry says all three neighboring counties in Oklahoma—Rogers, Craig and Washington—all have strong 911 infrastructures.

Using Coffeyville, Kansas as a partner was also discussed for the northern part of the county.
