The Rhode Island
Enhanced 911 Uniform Emergency Telephone System provides
24 hour, statewide emergency public safety communications
services from one answering point located in North Providence
though the universal emergency number 9-1-1. High technical
and operational standards designed to reduce total response
time, guide the system's processing of both wireline and
wireless 911 calls.
It is the responsibility of the
Rhode Island Enhanced 911 Uniform Emergency Telephone
System to maintain a statewide emergency telephone system
which consistently provides swift and reliable assistance
to the public in response to their need for public safety
emergency services.
9-1-1 is the universal emergency
telephone number designed to give citizens an easy to
remember phone number for POLICE, FIRE or MEDICAL emergencies.
By dialing just three numbers, 9-1-1, you can be connected
to a trained professional who is used to dealing with
emergencies and who can route your call to the appropriate
agency.
It is
illegal to make a false call to RI E9-1-1.
