Got Questions?
You call 911. We answer. But what actually happens in a 911 center? For Telecommunicator Week (April 12–18), we’re answering your questions—straight from our dispatchers. Curious, unsure, or just never thought to ask…? Now’s your chance!
"What's your location?"
Ever wondered what happens on the other end of a 911 call? Ask us anything! We’ll select questions and answer them during Telecommunicator Week on our Facebook page.
From the moment you dial to the help you receive—see what’s happening behind the scenes.
Hear directly from the dispatchers who take the calls and coordinate emergency response every day.
Not sure what to ask? That’s the point. If you’ve wondered it, someone else has too.
Selected questions will be answered during Telecommunicator Week (12-18 April) across our channels.
Know when to call 911, what to expect, and how to give the information that helps responders get there faster.
Separate fact from fiction—what people think happens vs. what actually happens when you call 911.
Everything you need to know about how it works, what to expect, and how your question might be featured.
Submit your question and our dispatchers may answer it during Telecommunicator Week. Questions can be serious, simple, or just something you’ve always been curious about. Not all questions will be answered, but we’ll feature a wide range throughout the week.
We want to hear from you!
