Text 911 for Emergencies
By Let's Talk Los Angeles on September 22, 2014
The Los Angeles City Council on Friday ordered a study into upgrading the city’s 911 dispatch system to allow Angelenos to report emergencies through text messages. People who send texts to 911 in Los Angeles now receive a response telling them to speak with the 911 emergency dispatcher over the phone. Text messaging capability for 911 systems is being adopted by other cities such as Vermont and Dallas Doing the same in Los Angeles would mean surmounting some “technological hurdles” but could prove useful in such scenarios as hostage situations and for those with hearing disabilities.
