Race to an Emergency-examining 911 responses Pt. 1
When you call 911, who answers the phone? How do they decide who to send to the scene, and how fast will they get there? We bring you a 2-part special\u2014The Race to An Emergency, produced by KALW radio in San Francisco.
\nWe follow the path of a 911 call, and along the way, encounter decades of mistrust that fuel a lack of confidence in the system.
\nSpecial thanks to KALW Radio.
