Washington County Tennessee Residents Can Now Text To 911 On Their Mobile Devices. The Program Was Announced In November 2021 And Carriers Have Been Working To Get Their End Of The Service Online. The County’S Emergency Communications District Always Recommends Calling If Possible Over Texting So Dispatchers Can Be Sure To Obtain All Of The Information Possible. Make Sure If You Do Text That You Include Your Location And The Type Of Emergency. Messages May Also Take Longer To Receive.
