In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. During his testing he spilled a bottle of acid and called out “Watson, come here, I need you.” His conversation was transmitted via the telephone to his assistant Watson in another room, and the first telephone call became a part of history. The concept of being able to dial a single (universal) number to report emergencies was first utilized in Great Britain, back in 1937. Citizens could dial the digits 9-9-9 and reach a central operator who would in turn dispatch police, fire or ambulance as needed. This idea came to the United States in 1967. It was introduced to Congress and committees were formed to decide how to make the concept a reality. First, the telephone companies had to find a three-digit number that was not being used anywhere in the United States or Canada as a central office exchange or an area code. Other considerations were that it should be easy to find on the telephone dial or easily dialed in the dark. The telephone industry decided on the numbers 9-1-1. The very first 9-1-1 call was placed on February 16, 1968 in Haleyville, Alabama. The first 9-1-1 calls could only provide a voice connection. Callers knew that a call to 9-1-1 would connect them to the right people for emergency help. But the emergency responders did not have any information other than that provided by the caller. Still, 9-1-1 was a big improvement in emergency services. Enhanced 9-1-1 provides the callers location information and telephone number via special computers and display screens. Enhanced 9-1-1 also provides for selective routing of 9-1-1 calls to multiple jurisdictions.
