From Federal Computer Week: The House yesterday
approved a bill that would provide grants, planning and
coordination to local 911 call centers needing equipment upgrades,
infrastructure and training.
Advocates have been pressing the federal government to accelerate
implementation of better technology and training at 911 call
centers, also known as Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). A
growing problem has been accurately locating wireless callers, who
now constitute more than half of the country’s 200 million 911
calls each year.
