North Dakota is upgrading its 911 emergency system with a government award, but there's no nationwide timeline for updates.
The state of North Dakota has been awarded over $1 million to upgrade their 911 emergency call system by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Department of Transportation. Over the past five years, 911 call centers across the state have been transitioning to Next Generation 911 .
North Dakota plans on using the windfall in three different ways. It will begin using geographic information systems to improve the location of callers. IP connections will be created for telecommunications companies in the state. Finally, dispatchers will be given training on the new system. The NG911 upgrades are being implemented across the nation. Last week, Santa Clara County in California announced a text-to-911 program. San Jose Inside reported that a soft launch of the program was initiated this past January. A memo released September 23 from San Jose Fire Chief Robert Sapien and San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia said that police had taken part in over 500 text-to-911 conversations so far.
