The Emergency Services Communication Bureau is the state agency responsible for 9-1-1 in Maine. The Bureau manages a statewide Next Generation 9-1-1 system designed to keep pace with the way people communicate today. This advanced system includes voice and text, along with the foundation for the delivery of video and enhanced data to the Public Safety Answering Point as industry standards are developed and tested.
Public safety officials continue to credit Maine's 9-1-1 system with saving lives and solving crimes. Only call 9-1-1 to save a life, report a fire or stop a crime.
