there's scattered problems nationwide. but one city really caught our attention, cincinnati. the city's emergency 911 system keeps going down leaving people to fend for themselves when they're most desperate. and now, we're learning that the company that runs it, may run yours, too. >> when you call 911, you expect to hear this. >> 911, what is your emergency? >> reporter: but in cincinnati a public safety crisis. callers can't get through. total strangers in all parts of the city with similar stories. matt wood saw a possible drugged driver. >> i called 911. he takes down the street and drives 70-mile-per-hour. >> reporter: huge danger. >> absolutely. through a residential street it was insane. >> reporter: in another glitch bernie tried to get through, too. >> i saw a car smashed up against a pole. >> reporter: wow. >> i called 911, two, three times, and they never answered. >> reporter: you were trying to help that driver who may have needed medical attention. >> correct. >> reporter: and countless others. >> we called them three times and no response. >> no one answered. it rang and rang and rang. no one answered. hung up called back same thing. >> reporter: 911 operators eventually called back. but in an emergency, it could be the difference between life and death. according to an internal city document obtained by nbc news there's been ten 911 outages since june 2016. the latest one this last summer. lasting 3 hours and 30 minutes. we went straight to the cincinnati city manager. you had at least ten outages. what is going on here? >> these 911 systems have been designed and built for land lines. now, we have proliferation of cell phones. 90% of our calls are cell phone based, which means we can't control how they get to us. >> reporter: cell phones are nothing new. >> it's the volume. >> reporter: he blames most of it on a private company called comtech, that runs the 911 system. >> we have a service provider that's not as reliable and dependable as we needed them to be. >> reporter: you're getting rid of comtech? >> basically. >> reporter: it turns out, comtech is a major player in the nation 911 system. they are utilized by literally millions of people in more than 30 states. the company's own website says it supports half of all u.s. wireless e911 calls. and cincinnati isn't the only place experiencing problems. in connecticut, officials replaced comtech's system with a new company after a three-hour outage at 52 call-taking sites. in south dakota this year officials suspended payments to comtech, saying the company was slow to fix several recuring problems found within the system. comtech didn't respond to multiple calls and e-mails to nbc news. i paid them a visit at their new york headquarters. we see the company's cfo. we're from nbc news. doing a story on the 911 system. outages in cincinnati. wanted to get some answers. he disappears behind closed doors. we wait and wait for more than 15 minutes. but he never reemerges. instead, sending out the receptionist. >> they're not coming out. >> reporter: they're not going to come out? >> no. >> reporter: but the cfo is right in there? >> i was just given that information to say. i'm sorry. >> reporter: they don't want to talk to us. as for cincinnati it will take months to remove comtech and get the new system up and running, leaving locals to wonder if emergency dispatchers will pick up the phone during an emergency today. >> it's scary. it's unsettling. one of the primary roles of government is to keep the public safe. when no one picks up when you call 911, what are we supposed to do? >> reporter: during our visit, we gave comtech our phone number again but haven't heard back. program the numbers for your police and fire department in your cell phone. that way in an emergency, you can call the police and the fire department. >> and the poison center. >> pretty cowardly on comtech's part there. coming up something we can all use on friday. the newest gadgets designed to help us get better sleep. and look who is in the orange room. >> now, imagine this. your wedding photographer loses every picture of the big day. there's an online plea so it's an extra 5% off on all this?
