Enhanced 911 Services

Enhanced 911 Services

Mines Telecommunications has been proactive in providing Enhanced 911 services to the entire Mines campus and population.

What is Enhanced 911? This service enables the campus SIPfoundry VoIP telephone system to interact with a public 911 database maintained by the Mines Telecommunications Department. When a 911 call is placed from any campus telephone the ten-digit number is sent with the call to the Public Safety Answering Service and compared to the location database. This service allows the Public Safety Answering Service to pin point your location for the responding agency.

Please do not hang up on the 911 operator if you have dialed by mistake, simply explain there is not an emergency to the operator, this will save the Public Safety Answering Service Operators from having to call you back or dispatch an officer.
