I'm hearing precinct dispatch say something like 'anti ally' as in 'it came from the anti ally'
one last note as per law, the primary psap is always is answered by a Law Enforcement Agency then a call is branched to the correct ems and fire agency. so a PD first answers the call then transfers it.

Huh. I never knew I was working for a law enforcement agency for the last 16 years.

PSAP means public safety answering point, a site designated and operated by a governmental entity for the purpose of receiving emergency calls from customers of a wireless telephone service supplier.
Incorrect.
The operation of PSAP's in NYS are governed by Title 21 Chapter LX "New York State 911 Board"
21 CRR-NY 5203.1 defines PSAP as:
Operation by a local or state governmental entity is the requirement, not "law enforcement agency".
Certainly there are plenty of PSAP's throughout the state that are operated by local or state law enforcement agencies, but it's not a requirement. A county-operated 911 center not under the jurisdiction of a law enforcement agency is perfectly acceptable.
It's also worth noting that the routing of 911 calls often depends on their origin. In Rockland County, for example, landline 911 calls are routed to the local police department PSAP for each town or village. Cellular 911 calls, on the other hand, are routed to the county 911 center.
The transfer of 911 calls between the various PSAP's all depends on which services are being requested, and who dispatches what. That's determined by local policy as appropriate.
There is a a REQUIREMENT that the First agency to answer a 911 call be a Law Enforcement Agency thats exactly what happens in Westchester county NY if You called 911 in say Ardsley You will get Ardsley police then after that the person answering will ask WHAT is Your Emergency?, at that point the transfer is made if it is not a police matter, Such as ems, or fire. Dispatch centers can be combined. BUT the FIRST Agency to Answer Your Call will be a someone from a Law Enforcement agency. The call might be transferred Six times BUT the LAW ALWAYS ANSWERS FIRST. !!!ITS A LAW!!! LOOK IT UP
This what the set up here in NY. NOT !!!Canada," so Canada might be different. NO REASON for the WISE COMMENT SIR
PS. ITS NOT MY FAULT IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHO YOU WORK FOR. LOL

He sounds like the Sheriff in Putnam County NY who actually to ensure they got the PSAP over Fire had Sheriff Detectives follow the Fire Officials for months looking for an issue to jam them up and then arrested them for DUI. That Sheriff then quickly retired and moved to Copland (Florida) and the County then had to settle for a significant amount in the multiple lawsuits brought after an investigation of what he did.
BTW unless you have lived Westchester County for the last 50 years (I have) you have no idea what the politics of that County really are. 911 took nearly 30 years to implement due to the little fifedoms in the County. Mostly the PD's fought it fearing a big County takeover (happening to some extent now) of their towns, so they fought it until the technology caught up to what they wanted. Multiple PSAP's for the same geographic area. New York Tel/Verizon had to actually create a database based on household location and have the call directed to the correct agency for answering.
Sorry, but you are wrong. The chapter and verse of the law was already quoted earlier in the thread. If you can't provide a similar reference, stomping your foot and calling others out isn't going to change things.There is a a REQUIREMENT that the First agency to answer a 911 call be a Law Enforcement Agency thats exactly what happens in Westchester county NY if You called 911 in say Ardsley You will get Ardsley police then after that the person answering will ask WHAT is Your Emergency?, at that point the transfer is made if it is not a police matter, Such as ems, or fire.
