Office/Phone Moves

Emergency 911 requires all phone moves to be documented. A work request must be submitted to Capital Planning and Maintenance prior to any phone/office relocation, even if assistance is not required. When a 911 call is placed, the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) must receive an accurate location from where a call is made (street address, floor, room number).
