NON-DEPARTMENTAL PUBLIC SAFETY
Transfer to Metro Communications
In FY 04-05, Emergency Communications was transferred from within the Police Department and became an independent City
department budgeted in a separate fund. In FY 06-07 the Emergency Communications Departments of the City of Greensboro and
Guilford County Emergency consolidated. In FY 11-12 in accordance with the requirements of NCGS 62A pertaining to required
financial reporting to the State Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Board for Emergency Telephone Service funding, the City
established the “Guilford Metro Communications Fund” and now reports all emergency communications revenues, expenditures and
fund balance in the “Guilford Metro Communications Fund.” The funding budgeted in Non-Departmental Public Safety represents the
portion of Guilford Metro Communications operations that continues to be supported by the General Fund. In FY 2017-18 the City's
contribution is 62%.
Agency/Entity Funding
This program allocates funding for Animal Control in order to provide care for animals which are lost or unwanted, or must be
impounded due to local ordinance violations. The City of Greensboro contracts with Guilford County for the provision of animal control
services.
