Description
Description | California initiated a project to replace its antiquated analog 911 emergency calling system with a modernized Next Generation 911 system capable of transmitting voice, text, and video. The project began in 2019 with an estimated completion by 2021 but faced severe delays and operational failures, including misrouted calls, lost emergency calls, and periods when 911 calls could not be made. The state spent $450 million on the project between 2019 and 2025. After failures, the state is restarting the project with plans to implement the system statewide by 2030, with increased oversight and auditing. |
