The Shapiro Administration and PEMA celebrated National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (April 12–18, 2026) and highlighted life-saving investments in Next Generation 911 (NG911) technology. In 2025, Governor Shapiro signed legislation extending funding for Pennsylvania's 911 program through early 2029. The initial phase of the NG911 project was completed in April 2025, connecting all 61 Pennsylvania Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to the system, supporting regional interoperability and ensuring consistent emergency services across county boundaries.
