What is AIM911? Aim911 (Address Incident Management) allows you to report crime by sms-ing a code you’ll see on your nearest AIM911 street pole fitted UPN board. The process of fitting these boards countrywide has already started. You can even use a landline to make the call. Each board is geo-mapped, with a text description of the position address as well as GPS co-ordinates. This means that help can be dispatched to the exact spot where the crime is being committed, or where the accident happened – REAL TIME, REAL PLACE.
You can optionally register with AIM911 and set up a profile with them. You can add your medical aid details, your insurance company details and even the numbers of selected family and/or friends for example. In a case of emergency, when you SMS AIM911, they will notify all the relevant contacts listed with your profile that you have been in an emergency
situation, which saves you time and effort of doing it yourself.
This is a great initiative and could very well save your life. If you would like to register, you can do so by sending an SMS with your name, surname and mobile phone number to 32588. As a special introductory offer, the first 50 000 registrants will pay only R1 to register!
