Similar to 9-1-1 calls, texts to 9-1-1 are routed to the Bayside Communications Center (BCC) public safety answering point (PSAP). BCC is operated on a 24-hour basis, receiving 9-1-1 call and texts and dispatch emergency response services.

If you accidentally send a message to 9-1-1, send a reply indicating that you are ok. We may still respond to your location.

If Text-to-911 is temporarily unavailable, you should receive a message indicating this. If you do not receive any replies from 9-1-1, try to contact 9-1-1 another way.

Available in all 7 North Shore communities. However, if you are adjacent to a community outside of the North Shore, the location of the cell tower determines availability of the service.
