Formed in 2017, the State 911 Department provides administrative support to Nebraska's Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) and communications providers. Work is currently underway to transition the state from a Legacy 911 system to a Next Generation 911 system. Allowing for the free flow of multi-media information, Next Generation 911 will provide redundancy and resiliency to a statewide system, and dramatically improve call routing and location accuracy for citizens needing emergency service.
