Guilford Metro 911 receives funding to cover 911 eligible expenses as certified by the North Carolina 911 Board. The North Carolina 911 Board has an established approved 911 Expenditure List for this funding.

The NC State 911 Board notified Guilford Metro of the ineligible expenses on June 5, 2017.
