THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn. — Later this month, emergency dispatchers in northwestern Minnesota will be able to get a closer glimpse of what’s happening on the other side of the cellphone during a 911 call.
The Pennington County Sheriff’s Office is in the process of installing technology that will allow cellphone callers to stream live video and audio to dispatchers when they call 911 for help.
Here’s how it works: A caller on a cellphone dials 911 within the Pennington County service area. If the dispatcher who answers the call thinks it would be helpful to be able to see and hear what the caller is seeing and hearing, they can send a text message to the caller’s cellphone, asking to take over the camera. It’s up to the caller to accept or decline.
“They have to agree to open up their camera so it can be activated,” explained Sheriff Ray Kuznia.
San Francisco, California – Governor Gavin Newsom today toured a 9-1-1 call center at the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management to highlight the new funding included in the 2019 budget act to modernize 9-1-1 systems across the state and be better prepared to assist those in need during emergencies and natural disasters.
The 2019 budget act invests nearly $1 billion in funding for emergency preparedness and response – which included a new, permanent funding source to transform the state’s 9-1-1 system to better interface with digital information systems and cell phones.
