VECC No longer serves the Midvale police, due to Midvale joining the Unified Police Department of Greater Salt Lake nor Sandy fire and police who are now dispatched through Salt Lake City. VECC dispatches approximately 2,800 calls for service daily, answering approximately 3,500,911 and police/fire emergency telephone calls annually.
VECC utilises an enhanced 911 (E9-1-1) telephone network which displays the caller telephone number; known as Automated Number Identification (ANI). The E9-1-1 system also provides the caller name and location with a feature known as Automated Location Identification (ALI). The system also provides automatic call routing, which means citizens are automatically routed to the correct 911 centre for their political jurisdiction.
