Dispatchers have sent out 911 units to respond to 200,000 emergencies in the Greater Santo Domingo area since its start six months ago. The pilot program has been praised in both the DR and abroad. There are now plans to extend it to Santiago. As of January 2015, residents in Greater Santo Domingo will also be able to call the service to report cases of noise pollution.
