Hardin among next counties to implement Next Generation 9-1-1

COLUMBUS__Ohio Governor Mike DeWine today announced that Washington and Monroe counties are the first in the state to fully implement Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1). Governor DeWine made the adoption of NG9-1-1 across Ohio a priority of his 2024-2025 Executive Budget to improve emergency response times and ultimately save lives.

“Every second counts when we are talking about saving lives,” said Governor DeWine. “Next Generation 9-1-1 makes emergency services more efficient, especially in the rural areas of Ohio where it is critical to have strong and reliable communication infrastructure.”

NG9-1-1 technology provides citizens with advanced communication capabilities when calling for emergency services, such as text messaging. NG9-1-1 technology also supports more efficient emergency management by reducing the number of call transfers between 9-1-1 call centers with more precise identification of the location of callers using cell phones.
