About Pennsylvania 911

Why it exists

Many Pennsylvania counties publish their open 911 calls, but each one does it differently: a CAD web page, an RSS feed, a dispatch log or a report dashboard. Most are hard to read on a phone and none show what is happening across county lines. Pennsylvania 911 reads those official public feeds and presents them the same way everywhere, so you can see what the sirens are about without refreshing a dozen county websites.

Who runs it

Pennsylvania 911 is an independent project built and maintained by one developer. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by any county, 911 center, police, fire or EMS agency. It is funded by advertising and optional Premium memberships, and every county dashboard stays free to use.

Where the data comes from

Only official sources published by each county are used. Each dashboard re-reads its county feed every few minutes. Counties without a reliable public feed are shown as “coming soon” until one exists.

What Pennsylvania 911 adds

• A statewide map and call counts across every supported county.
• A page for every borough, township and city, listing only that town’s calls.
• Plain-language call types in place of dispatch codes.
• Trending places, where both public interest and active calls are rising.
• Free alerts for the towns and counties you follow, and a 30-day call history.
• Neighborhood discussions, moderated to keep out names and private details.

Limits and privacy

Calls are shown only at the town level, never at a house or exact address, even when a feed includes streets. Data can be delayed, incomplete or later corrected by the county. Nothing here replaces official emergency information. In an emergency, call 911.
