Paris Emergency Call Platform Centralises Call to 3 Emergency Numbers
The Paris police headquarters inaugurated Tuesday the emergency call platform (plateforme des appels d’urgence, or PFAU) located at the Champerret barracks (17th arrondissement, or district). The goal: "sharing for better saving".
20Minutes.com, an online French news publication, writes that in Paris, calls to the three emergency numbers - 17, 18 and 112 - are now centralised on one platform. This one (see picture), located in the basements of the Champerret barracks (17th arrondissement) was inaugurated this Tuesday after several months of trial, by the prefect of police of Paris, Michel Cadot.
The aim is to "pool for better saving" by "targeting the emergency more quickly". And this, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
