The E-911 system utilizes a computerized system to automatically route emergency telephone calls to the proper public safety answering point serving the jurisdiction from which the emergency telephone call was placed. In other words, only Portsmouth residents will be served by Portsmouth dispatchers, telephone customers with shared exchanges, but who actually live in Chesapeake or Suffolk, will automatically be transferred to their respective jurisdictions. Additionally, the E-911 system will provide Automatic Number Identification (ANI) and Automatic Location Identification (ALI) to dispatchers on each call received. The system also has the ability to transfer the ANI/ALI informatien~to any southside Hampton Roads city should this be necessary for an emergency response across city boundaries. Finally, the E-911 system is compatible and may interface with any computer aided dispatch system for additional, enhanced capabilities in the future.
