Use Cell Phone Sally to Boost Your Public Education Efforts

Cell Phone Sally was created to help aid public education efforts within the 9-1-1 industry. Although the mascot program was launched in Texas, Cell Phone Sally is used throughout the United States and abroad. Her mission is to educate the public about how to call and when to call 9-1-1.

Social media efforts are full of opportunities to add videos of information relevant to 9-1-1 public education. Have you considered adding links to the various resources from our website or YouTube channel?
