The Bowling Green Police Department is now accepting texts to its 911 call center. The effort has been almost two years in the making. The city has been working with phone providers and vendors to get the proper technology infrastructure in place. City Commissioner Dana Beasley Brown has been pushing the effort for the enhanced capability. âI knew it existed in other places. Especially for the younger generation, all they do is text,â she said. Working with vulnerable populations in the city schools also made her âpassionateâ about the need for such service, she said, as there are cases where typically a woman or child is in a dangerous situation and is afraid to speak.
