Allegheny County 911 Center
On March 10, 2005, the Safety & Security Committee and Officer Ron Bennett from the University of Pittsburgh Police toured the Allegheny County 911 Center located in Point Breeze. David Johnson, a planner with the Emergency Management Division gave us an insider's look of the Situation Room which is used to coordinate emergency response efforts. We also toured the 911 dispatch center.
Did you know that when you call for 911 assistance, your address information that they see is provided by your local telephone company? It is critical that you verify your service address with your telephone company to prevent a delay in emergency response. It may save your life!
Each telephone company maintains three addresses:
1. Billing address - the address to which your bill is sent.
2. Listed address - the address placed in the phone directory.
3. Service address - the physical location of the telephone.
