TiPS 25 0214 - Celebrating 911's 57th Anniversary

In this episode of TiPS: Today in Public Safety, Fletch, VP of Public Safety at 911inform, and a NENA certified ENP, commemorates the 57th anniversary of the very first 911 call, made on February 16, 1968, in Haleyville, Alabama.

He recounts the history of that momentous day, the movement it inspired, and the enduring impact of the 911 system on public safety.

Fletch also shares his personal experience as an honorary Grand Marshal during the 50th-anniversary parade and discusses how NG911 builds upon that legacy of innovation. The episode also highlights the significance of the actual red rotary phone used to make the first 911 call, now on display at the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, D.C. Tune in to hear why the work started in Haleyville remains crucial today and how you can help shape the future of emergency communications.
