The Toronto Police Service, along with our emergency services partners, are pleased to announce that the T9-1-1 service is now available in the city of Toronto. T9-1-1 is a service that allows members of the DHHSI community to call 9-1-1 during an emergency, and converse with a 9-1-1 call-taker by text message.

A special application allows the 9-1-1 call-taker to recognize the call as coming from a registered cell phone associated with a DHHSI member, and enables the call-taker to text with the caller to deal with the emergency.

It is important to note that:

- to be eligible to use this service, members of the DHHSI community must register with their wireless service provider

- for a T9-1-1 call to be identified, DHHSI persons must be aware that they can only access 9-1-1 services from their registered cell phone and only in parts of Canada where the service has been deployed

- DHHSI callers should only call 9-1-1 for emergencies
