Madison, WI automated text message platform for 911 callers
The Madison Police Department partnered with SPIDR Tech to launch a platform which uses the emergency dispatch system to send automated text messages to 911 callers. The text message provides a summary of their call and once the event is cleared by officers an additional text message offers an opportunity for the caller to provide feedback on their experience. To avoid endangering victims, reports of sexual assault, domestic disturbances and 911 hang-ups will not trigger the text messages.
