Help Emergency 911 Responders help you as quickly and effectively as possible!

The Lexington 911 call center is working with neighborhoods to get Lexington residents registered for the Smart911 service.  The seroice is offered to Lexington reesidents for free.

 

Smart911 allows people to create a Safety Profile that will be visible to 9-1-1 call takers in the event of an emergency call. Citizens create profiles for many reasons. Some want to make sure 9-1-1 knows they have a medical condition or allergy, others want to provide their exact address in case they call from a cell phone. You can also list your vehicle information, emergency contacts and even pets.

The process takes about ten minutes and is very thorough. It’s an impressive service and well worth the time to set it up. To set up your profile, go to
