if they have IP-relay 10 digit number and have a dataplan cellphone, they can easily use that for emergency.

My question is.. Why, Gally students have to depend on DPS for responding the emergency. Do not they know how do call 911 without DPN? Gallaudet University could bring this serious issues to the Federal government about emergency respond like as call 911 by pager. One of this best example is to show the world that Gally students could not able to call 911 by their pager and find the tty is to far from crime scene.

@John04mans

I understand what you mean by that. The Gallaudet rule is you have to notification to DPS first before you can call 911. I don't understand why. I am doing some kind of research of the DPS time response, They did lack of time response.

[InsaneMisha]

That is where we need to watch and see what DPS' report shows. But from what I've heard about the past history/record what DPS had done in the past was so horrible, I believe it's high time to overhaul everything and start over with the new system. However if anything happens, the students and staff should call 911 without going to DPS if there is a life threatening.

All we can do is wait to hear each story....more specifically DPS' since we already heard a few stories from students.

The DPS entire department must clean up for Deaf people's sake. They need to upgrade themselves!
