A sign is now in place calling attention to passing motorists of the place where a city 911 telecommunicator and her toddler son lost their lives more than two months ago in a two-vehicle wreck.
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) – When you call 911 you usually would just be talking to a dispatcher, but with the Fort Wayne Police Department’s new program, a drone pilot will be listening too.
It’s called the Drone First Responder Program (DRF) and it was unveiled Tuesday at the police station. Officers say they have partnered with the Allen County Fort Wayne dispatch center to help find new ways to keep people safe.
For the second time, Maryland State Senator Cheryl Kagan was chosen as the Next Generation 9-1-1 Institute’s Government Leader of the Year for her groundbreaking work to improve emergency services.
Thirty-six states enacted 88 bills regarding 911 in 2022, excluding appropriation bills, to support and improve the operation of public emergency communications services. New laws mainly concern reclassifying 911 telecommunicators, NG911 and training telecommunicators in telephone cardiopulmonary resuscitation, known as T-CPR.
HONOLULU, Hawaii (KITV4)– Early lay rescuer CPR can double the chances of survival.
That’s why it’s crucial for you to know how to give CPR. Many 9-1-1 operators are trained in Telecommunicator CPR.
A video posted online of a call to the Jersey City 911 call center going unanswered after a hit-and-run crash last weekend has the city administration fuming and may speed up the city’s consideration of privatizing the call center.
