How does Indianas E911 system compare to other states?
Indiana is a leader in implementing FCC required E911 upgrades from the beginning, often beating the FCC’s schedule. Allen and Steuben Counties became the nation’s first counties to accept Phase I calls in April of 1998. Lake County became the second county in the nation to accept Phase II calls in November of 2001. Indiana Treasurer of State, Tim Berry, was recently appointed to NENA’s national Strategic Wireless Action Team (SWAT). Through this position, Berry will highlight Indiana’s successes and bring best practices in E911 implementation to Indiana.
