Dispatchers and call takers in Coquitlam and Langley RCMP Detachments migrated to the new system November 3, 2026, wrapping up the changeover to Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1).
It’s a federally mandated transition project from analog to digital led by E-Comm 9-1-1.
In a news release, BC RCMP says there will be no noticeable difference in how the public can access help from police.
Callers will continue to reach a 9-1-1 call taker at E-Comm 9-1-1 who will ensure the call reaches the appropriate first responder agency.
