911Text A

 

METCAD now has the ability to handle emergency SMS text messages sent to 9-1-1 in Champaign County.  METCAD’s new Text to 9-1-1 service will benefit those who cannot safely call 9-1-1 in an emergency, as well as individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech impairment.

To send a Text to 9-1-1, simply put “911” in the “To” section of your text message, then include information about the emergency and its location in the body of the text.  9-1-1 operators will have the ability to text the sender back to request additional information or to confirm that help is on the way.

Crimes occur in nearly every part of the county each year. The Champaign, Urbana and University of Illinois Police Departments analyze crimes in several different ways, one of which is geographic mapping. Crime mapping may show trends or help to identify a suspect.  Each agency shares specific crime data with a web service known as CrimeReports.com.  You can see a variety of information points for various crimes, sex offenders, etc.

 The Illinois Premise Alert Program is a program to provide first responders with vital information for people with special needs.  The program, signed into law in August 2009, provides the framework for a 911 call center to accept information about people with disabilities and share that information with police, firefighters and paramedics in an emergency.
