Je com 911 launches app for non-emergency services e Je com 911 app is now available on Apple and Google Play stores. e agency currently averages about 2,000 emergency and nonemergency calls a day, totaling about 800,000 annually.

Je com 911, the county’s emergency communications agency, has launched a free phone app to provide residents and visitors access to non-emergency public safety resources.

It also allows users to sign up for LookoutAlert emergency noti cations and report illegal reworks activity with the push of a button.

Executive Director Je Street stated that his agency wants to provide citizens “the best and most e cient response to requests,” and believed the app and the Je com911.org website would accomplish those goals.

In an April 3 press release, Streeter described how the app allows users to report non-emergency incidents, such as reporting code violations or inquiring about welfare check requests, without calling a traditional phone line or speaking to a dispatcher.

Instead, users can ll out a form on the app with their name, contact information, date and time of the incident, and brief description. Google Maps provides the location through the Je com 911 app. Once submitted, users will receive con rmation that the message has been received and appropriate public safety resources have been assigned.

Other features include:

Immediate updates through push noti cations;A “ reworks” button to report illegal reworks activity closer to Independence Day; andA sign-up for LookoutAlert emergency noti cations.

Je com 911, which is based in Lakewood, is celebrating its fth anniversary this month. It started as a consolidation of eight separate law, re and EMS dispatch agencies, and now provides communication services for 24 agencies and more than 600,000 residents.
