KEARNEY, Neb. — Nearly 50 years ago the first 911 call was made in the United States in 1968. Soon Nebraskans will be able to text for help.

“New technology emerges and evolves and 911’s always trying to catch up to make 911 as available for everyone as we possibly can,” said Buffalo County Sheriff Neil Miller.
