Federal Deputies, authorities and civil society associations have begun discussion of moving to a single emergency number in México. A push to implement 911 as the single emergency number is growing.
The Security Commission in the Chamber of Deputies met with Jorge Carlos Hurtado Valdez, the Executive Secretary of the National Public Security System, who said that to use a single emergency number will require an analysis of its technological feasibility, the abilities of telephone companies and a verification of the responsiveness of call centers. He noted that today the response time is 30 minutes on average, while in other countries it is 3 to 4 minutes.
Jaime Chris López Alvarado, a deputy with the Party of the Institutional Revolution (PRI), who introduced the initiative, attended meetings with the president of “Stop Kidnapping,” Isabel Miranda de Wallace. The organization president said “911 is used in the United States, Canada, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Costa Rica, to name a few, and that the use of 911 would make it easier for the millions of people we are visiting México.”
