Enhanced 911 Uniform Emergency Telephone System provides 24
hour, statewide emergency public safety communications services
from one answering point located in North Providence though
the universal emergency number 9-1-1. High technical and operational
standards designed to reduce total response time, guide the
system's processing of both wireline and wireless 911 calls.
It is the responsibility of the Rhode
Island Enhanced 911 Uniform Emergency Telephone System to

provides swift and reliable assistance to the public in response
to their need for public safety emergency services.

telephone number designed to give citizens an easy to remember
phone number for POLICE, FIRE or MEDICAL emergencies. By dialing
just three numbers, 9-1-1, you can be connected to a trained
professional who is used to dealing with emergencies and who
can route your call to the appropriate agency.
It is
illegal to make a false call to RI E9-1-1.
