Ventura County first responders now able to receive 9-1-1 text messages
VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. - First responder agencies throughout Ventura County are now able to receive 911 text messages in the event of an emergency. The purpose of this function is to allow hearing and speech-impaired members of the community, as well as those in a situation where it is too dangerous to call 911, to contact emergency personnel for help.
Those situations include when a crime is in progress, the caller is facing domestic abuse, the caller is injured and cannot speak or hear, as well as other scenarios.
This change is effective immediately. Both Ventura County law enforcement and fire agencies are now equipped to receive and respond to 911 text messages.
