Madison County has the usual mix of fire departments, hospital ambulances,  police departments, and county sheriff.  However, Madison County has two prisons, Madison Correctional and London Correctional, unusual for a rural county. There is no youth correctional facility.  Madison County contracts with a youth facility in Marysville in Union County.  The Sheriff’s Department provides contract service to Lake Choctaw. Mt Sterling and Madison County Hospital. The Lake Choctaw and Mt Sterling contracts pay the wages of those assigned.  Madison County residents are not taxed to pay for those.  We also have BCI and several academies near the prisons on SR 56 and a highway patrol training facility located on US 42 just south of London.

Of course all of the various full-time responder facilities have 911 access and maintain dispatchers.
