Is Smart 911 available in my area? 9-1-1 jurisdictions do not exactly match zip code boundaries, and there are many factors that play into routing a 9-1-1 call. It is possible that a call placed from a given zip code will be routed to a 9-1-1 call center that is not enabled with Smart911. At this time calls received by one of four communication centers that operate in Boulder County would enable Smart911: Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, City of Boulder, City of Longmont and University of Colorado Police Department.  Boulder County is adjacent to several other counties. Here is the current status of those counties and Smart911: Weld County (no); Larimer County (no); Broomfield City and County (yes); Jefferson County (yes); Grand County (no).

Is Smart911 available in multiple languages?  Yes. The Smart911 portal can display in other languages – there is a drop down menu in the top right corner of the page for individuals to select a language.  Any tests that come from Smart911 (like verification codes) are currently only sent out in English at this time. This has been brought to the attention of the Smart911 product team and they are evaluating how best to address this issue.

Where is Smart911 available? When I call 9-1-1 will they get my information?
Although Smart911 is a nationwide service, it is not available in every municipality yet. If the service is not yet available in your home or work jurisdiction, you can create a Smart911 profile, since you may travel into an area that has enabled Smart911.

Profile was successfully created?
When you complete registration, Smart911 will automatically direct you to your Smart911 Safety Profile and will send a message to your registered email address confirming your account. Smart911 will not deliver your Safety Profile to 9-1-1 answering centers unless you have verified the phone(s) listed in your profile by responding to the text message or automated call placed to that phone.

How long will my information remain available to Smart911?
Your information will remain in Smart911 until you delete your account. However your Safety Profile is only active and available to 9-1-1 for six months after you log in to your account. If your account does not show activity by way of logging in for a period over six months your Safety Profile will be suspended and no information will be delivered to 9-1-1. You can reactivate your account simply by logging in and using your user id and password.

How can I control who sees my Smart911 information?
Your Safety Profile will only be displayed to a 9-1-1 call taker if you place a 9-1-1 call from a phone confirmed with your Smart911 account, and the 9-1-1 center receiving your call participates in the Smart911 program. You are in full control of the information you enter and the phone numbers you choose to associate with your Safety Profile.

What if I do not receive a text confirmation? Failure to receive a confirmation code can happen for a number of reasons including your number being from a new recently ported carrier, lack of a premium text messaging plan, or inability of your carrier to receive a premium SMS message.

If you have not received a confirmation code to your mobile phone within a few minutes of choosing this confirmation option, we recommend that you follow these steps. First, please verify the phone number that you are registering is correct. Second, be sure that you carrier, the mobile carrier value matching to your phone, matches that of your wireless provider. If these steps do not help, confirm your mobile number by an automated voice call.

To trigger an automated voice confirmation, simply add your mobile number under the 'Phones' section of your profile and designate the 'Phone Type' as 'Mobile'. Accept the Terms and Conditions and click the 'Save and Confirm via Phone Call' button, which is listed as the second option.

What if I received a notification that my number is no longer registered?
This can occur if a separate account is created for a different member of the same household, or when a person who shares a number creates a second account.
