Subject: Have You Contacted Provo re: Their 3-1-1 Phone Line?

https://www.provo.org/provo311

June 11, 2024

Dear Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, City of Bountiful, Davis County, and State of Utah officials,

Have any of you contacted City officials in Provo, Utah, to find out whether Provo's establishment of a 3-1-1 Non-Emergency Police and Other City Services  Phone Line service  has been successful for that municipality in Utah County?

Specifically, has the 311 phone line for non-emergency phone calls enabled  Provo Police and EMS in Provo to reduce their  response times on emergency 911 phone calls  in that city?

Do any of you believe that if the City of Salt Lake City were to establish a comparable  3-1-1 Non-Emergency Phone Calls service, this would boost the efficiency of Salt Lake City Police, the Salt Lake City Fire Department, and EMS in Salt Lake City in responding very promptly to emergency reports from private citizens and others?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Best Wishes,

former Texas DPS full-time employee and current Utah restaurant-industry employee John Kevin McMillan, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 117, First Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

My new cell phone number: (385) 547-3505.
