Henderson residents can now text 911
Normally I would mention something like this via the is301 Twitter account, but this is so important I’m going to announce it here instead (although since this site and the Twitter account are linked, I guess I announced it via both anyway!).
Henderson residents can now text a message to 911 instead of calling. Henderson is the only department in the state to offer this functionality, and it is carrier-neutral. This would be very useful in circumstances of, G-d forbid, a home invasion where you are trying to stay hidden, or if you wanted to avoid the appearance of making a call for whatever reason, or for people who are deaf or hard of hearing and are therefore unable to make emergency calls.
