Can Smart911 be used for non-emergency or urgent messages?

Yes. Using the list feature, the Police Department may wish to use it to notify on-call employees very quickly and notify specialized officers in case of a large-scale emergency. The department can create lists of emergency responders and use Smart911 as a backup to the normal emergency notification process.
