Question

In florida and some other states, cellular emergency calls are directed to the state police (*__________ on your cellular phone)

Answer 1

The Cadillac Corporation has, in fact, already introduced their Onstar System in the 1997 model year. It links a hand-held, voice-activated phone with a GPS satellite device. Onstar allows dispatchers in customer service centers to locate Cadillac owners who are in distress, or who locked their keys in their cars. Emergency response can be dispatched from the Cadillac operated service centers.

In some states, including California, Colorado, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Texas and Florida, the cellular emergency calls are directed to the state police. The increase in the number of calls has been so great, that these states are attempting to build infrastructures to handle the volume of calls received.

Answer 2

The answer for Florida is Star FHP or *347.

In Florida this will put you in touch with the local Highway Patrol. The calls are free of charge. Drivers can use this service to report anything related to road safety.

Otherwise dial *911 for all emergency services in the US.
