HISTORY

In 1937 Great Britain introduced the first emergency 3 digit number system: 9-9-9. The United States began the process of creating a single emergency number in 1957, when the National Associate of Fire Chiefs requested a unified system. Ten years later Lyndon Johnson’s Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice furthered this recommendation with support from various government agencies and officials.
