Fox31 Denver: 'Text to 911 now available in Denver'

Quoting from the July 8th posting on the Fox31/Denver news site:

"Denver is rolling out a new program that lets people text 911 during emergencies.

Denver gets about 1 million 911 calls per year, and that number is growing. Sometimes, dispatch operators are forced to put callers on hold because of volume. So more people are turning to social media to report crimes to police."
