The Guyana Police Force (GPF) is reassuring the public that, contrary to false reports, the 911 system is fully functional.
The GPF is cautioning that the 911 facility serves a specific purpose and must be allowed to serve that purpose.
Prank calls and other calls which waste a lot of “valuable time” and resources have been noted by the GPF.
They are also urging citizens to conduct themselves in a manner in keeping with that of a good citizen.
The 911 system was officially launched in November of last year and is outfitted with a number of special features including selective call transfers and automatic caller identification and the option to send a text message in case of the inability to make a call, scalable call handling. Other features include customizer reporting which can expand to cooperate graphical geographic information system (GIS) and integration with the closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV).
