Universal Citation: 10 NM Admin Code 10.6.2.8
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
A. In New Mexico, the responsibility and authority for delivering emergency medical services, public fire protection, and law enforcement generally rests with the state, counties, and municipalities. This is true even when supplemental services are performed by others, such as private ambulance companies or independent public authorities and non-profit organizations with limited internal fire protection and security forces.
B. An E911 telephone emergency system provides:
(1)
expansion of the capabilities of the basic 911 emergency telephone
number;
(2) faster response time,
which minimizes the loss of life and property;
(3) automatic routing to the appropriate
public safety answering point;
(4)
immediate visual display of the telephone number, name, and address or location
of the calling party; and
(5)
identifies callers, curtailing abuse of the emergency system.
