Local government sits at the operational center of emergency and crisis response systems. Counties in 48 states and the District of Columbia operate, fund and manage thousands of the nation’s public safety answering points (PSAPs), or 911 call centers. PSAPs handle more than 240 million 911 calls annually, including an estimated 24 million behavioral health-related calls.
