Call if you can.. Text if you can't

Text to 911 capabilities are available and should only be used if voice calling is not an option. 

Text messaging is one of the primary ways people communicate today, especially younger generations. The 911 community is constantly working to meet the evolving needs of the public. There are many significant benefits to consumers, especially in cases when the caller cannot communicate verbally. Texts to 9-1-1 may also aid in situations where a crime is in progress, the caller is facing domestic abuse, is injured and can’t speak, among other situations. Always remember, call if you can, text if you can't.
