Next Generation 911
Text-to-911 Technology Now Available to Western Wayne Communities
While the new technology is an exciting advancement in public safety services provided by CWW communities, officials said that citizens should “Call if you can, text if you can’t” when contacting 911.
CWW officials emphasized that text-to-911 is a compliment to calling 911, not a replacement, because voice calls to 911 are still the most efficient way to communicate with public safety officials in an emergency situation.
