APCO Seeking 9-1-1 Call Tapes
APCO International is working on a project to educate the public about the dangers of using 9-1-1 for non-emergencies. APCO is looking for humorous calls in which citizens have dialed 9-1-1 instead of 4-1-1, reported trivial matters, or reported other non-emergencies. If you have any tapes of non-emergency calls to 9-1-1 that can be broadcast on national media please contact APCO. Visit APCO's web site at www.apcointl.org for more information.

NYC to Equip 9-1-1 Call Centers to Receive Digital Images and Videos
New York City is introducing a revolutionary innovation in crime-fighting: Equipping "9-1-1" call centers to receive digital images and videos from citizen cell phones and computers. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the initiative in his recent "2007 State of the City" Address. If citizens see a crime in progress or a dangerous building condition they'll be able to transmit images to 9-1-1, or online to NYC.GOV. The City also plans to extend the same technology to 3-1-1 to allow New Yorkers to step forward and document non-emergency quality of life concerns.
