SPOKANE, Wash. – Leaders from the city and county reached a significant agreement that will shape the future of emergency call services in Spokane. The city plans to establish its own 911 dispatch center, moving away from its contract with the Spokane Regional Emergency Communications Center (SREC).
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Residents seeking non-emergency services from Akron police will now be routed to “Ava,” an artificial intelligence virtual assistant, the department said.
Those who call 911, however, will still speak to a person.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Richard Hudson (NC-09), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, led a hearing titled Legislative Improvements to Public Safety Communications in the United States.
Groveland says residents will be better served beginning Tuesday as all emergency dispatch services transition to the North Shore Regional 911 Center.
The call center is described as an established, state-of-the-art public safety communications hub, operated by the State 911 Department. Officials say Groveland will benefit from improved call response capacity, advanced technology and a dedicated team trained to handle emergency communications for multiple communities across the region.
PRESS RELEASE
DALLAS — As first responders work tirelessly to respond to the devastating flooding in western Washington, here’s how FirstNet, Built with AT&T and the AT&T Network Disaster Recovery (NDR) team are helping.
The Chippewa County Board of Supervisors on Oct. 8 approved two measures aimed at stabilizing staffing in the Emergency Communications Center: a one‑time appreciation bonus for ECC employees and a conversion of a vacant full‑time telecommunicator position into two part‑time posts to increase scheduling flexibility.
