Sometimes. This depends on the type of cell phone you’re using and the duration of the call. On almost all wireless 9-1-1 calls routed to the Antioch Police Department, our intelligent phone workstations will display the originating phone number, Wireless Service Provider name, and the location of the cell tower (not the caller) from which the call is being received. Within 10-15 seconds, in some cases, the dispatcher can request the phone system “Retransmit” the call. Although you, the caller, will not notice any discernable difference, the intelligent phone workstation will now display latitude/longitude coordinates that are entered into a mapping program and used to determine your approximate geographical location.
