Happy Birthday 9-1-1

March 7, 2022 by Jennifer Gilson

9-1-1 celebrated its birthday on February 16, 2022. Fifty four years ago the first 9-1-1 call was made in Alabama. Over the years the technology and capability of 9-1-1 has grown tremendously.

Two very important features with that are the SILENT CALL PROCEDURE and TEXT TO 9-1-1. These features allow you to receive help without ever speaking if you are in a situation that you cannot talk.

Your Dispatchers here in Manchester are trained to handle these calls for you.
