(PRWEB) July 10, 2005 -- The Rankin County Sheriffs Department, Brandon MS, has acquired a message broadcasting system from Database Systems Corp. (DSC) to inquire upon the well being of its residents who subscribe to this service. As a public service for this community, the Sheriffs Department can contact individuals such as the elderly or handicapped by calling their residences and playing a recorded message. If the resident requires assistance, he or she can press a phone key and the Sheriffs office will respond to this alert. Likewise, if the phone is not answered, the Sheriffs office will respond to this potential emergency.

The Sheriffs office acquired the DSC Wizard Phone System that initially includes 4 analog phone lines. This system is capable of simultaneously dialing multiple phone numbers, playing a recorded message when an individual answers the call. The Wizard Phone System can detect the difference between answering systems and live" answers and can re-dial a number multiple times after a specified time delay. If there is no answer by the resident after multiple dials, the Wizard will contact the Sheriffs office with the information about this resident and the Sheriffs office will respond appropriately. The Wizard is expandable to 48 analog lines and can be upgraded to the Pacer Phone Series which supports over 1000 digital phone lines.
