Sedgwick County is unveiling new technology they say will make it easier to contact 911 in an emergency. “So one of those is the ability for 911 dispatchers to send out a text versus only being able to respond to text so previously if you texted in and that text is just to 911 those three digits, very simple. We could respond back but we couldn’t initiate that text conversation,” said Elora Forshee, Emergency Communications Director. The county has used text to 9-1-1 but just recently had the ability to initiate contact with people.
