Wheaton Residents Can Now Text-to-911 in an EmergencyThe City of Wheaton has added the ability for anyone in Wheaton to contact 9-1-1 dispatchers by text message in an emergency when calling is not possible. Text-to-911 technology can make contacting emergency services accessible for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and it can assist individuals experiencing a medical emergency that affects their ability to speak. It can also be used in circumstances where calling may put someone in danger, such as a domestic violence situation or if someone is hiding. Texting to 9-1-1 should only be used when calling is not safe or possible. Call if you can, text if you can't. For more information about the new Text-to-911 service, please visit www.dupagecounty.gov/text911. |
