Join the MARC Emergency Services team on Wednesday, April 1, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Lenexa Justice Center Auditorium (17371 Prairie Star Parkway, Lenexa, KS 66219) for a Special Events Safety and Security Forum.

The MARC regional 911 system is expanding translation services, helping ensure telecommunicators across the metro can provide timely responses to visitors from around the world. Technology to provide live call transcription services is being deployed across the network and new geospatial routing technology ensures accurate call routing no matter where you are.
