9-1-1 Hearing Gets Statewide Media Coverage

(Sacramento) - Assemblymember Freddie Rodriguez (D) Pomona,  Chair of the Select Committee on Local Emergency Preparedness, along with Assemblymember Das Williams, is developing legislation which seeks to eliminate unnecessary delays in receiving emergency care for callers who contact 9-1-1 from a cell phone. Following the committee’s informational hearing, news outlets from across the state, including KCAL in Los Angeles shed light on how, in an age where cell phones are so prevalent in our society, dispatchers are still not able to tell the location of more than half of all 911 calls made by cell phone. Watch their story on this video from Assembly Assets.
