The city of Cincinnati is partnering with the family of Kyle Plush to create PSAs for communities through a campaign for the newest 911 technology - Smart911.
The city is using the new technology to provide critical information to first responders when calls are made from cellphones and landlines. Once a private Safety Profile is created at SMART911.com, the emergency information will be automatically displayed to the operator when a call is made to 911. Detailed information can be provided such as family members, photos, medical notes, pets, car make and model, and emergency contacts.
Law and Public Safety Committee Vice Chair Amy Murray believes this technology is critical for first responders at the 911 ECC. "Having seen firsthand what call takers at the 911 ECC see on their screens, SMART911 is essential to giving our first responders information to get help faster. I'm excited that the Plush family is willing to help lead this effort. This can and will save lives."
