Nearly 50 years after the first 911 call was made in the United States, calltaking and dispatching have become, in a way, the forgotten member of the public safety family. The 911 system is so familiar to us that most people don't even think about it, until an emergency happens. Yet 911 remains a vital part of everyday crime-fighting, as well as the management of major events and the response to natural disasters. PERF decided to conduct a Critical Issues in Policing project on emergency communications because the world of emergency communications is about to undergo an upheaval, as a result of two new technologies: Next Generation 911 systems and the FirstNet wireless broadband network for police and other first responders. The implementation of NG911 and FirstNet will augment traditional mission-critical Land Mobile Radio (LMR) narrowband voice systems. This report explores NG911 and FirstNet and their impact on police agencies and the emergency communications centers that support the police. Details: Washington, DC: PERF, 2017. 94p.
