Dallas police and Dallas Fire-Rescue will now use new technology to help find peopleDallas police announced Friday the two agencies will use what3words, a free application and online map people can use to tell first responders
A person who needs help can open the application or map, and a blue dot will appear on the map showing their exact location based on their phone’s GPS. The application will then show the random three-word combination assigned to the three-meter square where the person is located. “Being able to get a location quickly is everything in an emergency situation, because time is crucial,” Dallas police Chief Eddie García said in a written statement. “Having an additional tool like what3words will help us to find a location quickly, and respond to an emergency faster to get help to those who need it.”
