Why it matters
The dispute centers on the Next Generation 911 upgrade, a major effort to modernize California’s aging 911 infrastructure. The legal conflict and reported technical issues jeopardize the continuity of the public safety project and involve millions of public dollars.
Advocates are calling for greater oversight of the Next Gen 911 project, and the Federal Communications Commission has requested spending information regarding the initiative.
