AGENDA PSAP test numbers Alternate Emergency Numbers (10 digit Emergency Numbers) Unwanted calls

PSAP TEST NUMBERS We need a way to test 9 -1 -1 trunks from a remote location prior to dispatching repair tech Every PSAP has a test number that will allow testing without having to be in that city The dial-able 10 digit number will send a call directly to the PSAP’s 9 -1 -1 trunks The ALI record shows “Test St” as the address

PSAP TEST NUMBERS Edison test numbers are 817 -387 -xxxx Riverside test numbers are 214 -751 -xxxx If you get a hang up call on this test number and call it back it rings on your 9 -1 -1 line Can be very confusing to call takers if they are not familiar with this

ALTERNATE EMERGENCY NUMBERS When a citizen dials 9 -1 -1 they are giving up some “private” information Phone number Name Address Some – LAT/LON on cell phone citizens do not want to give up their private information but want their call answered with same priority as 9 -1 -1

ALTERNATE EMERGENCY NUMBERS Alternate Emergency Numbers provide those citizens that service These If are dial-able 10 digit phone numbers you have an ACD they ring like 9 -1 -1 calls In ring all PSAP’s they have separate buttons Only one number is “published” – there at least 2 lines for every PSAP

ALTERNATE EMERGENCY NUMBERS Large PSAP’s have 5 – 10 roll over lines behind the “published” number All numbers in the Alternate Emergency roll over group are dial-able

UNWANTED CALLS PSAP Test Numbers and Alternate Emergency Numbers are dial-able 10 digit numbers Both of these numbers are delivered like a 9 -1 -1 call Any dial-able number can be misdialed Any dial-able number can receive “robo calls”

UNWANTED CALLS All PSAP Test Numbers and Alternate Emergency Numbers are on the Do Not Call List Unfortunately some “robo calls” still get through
