When one call 911, how is the call automatically local?

1.90K views

Hypothetically speaking, if someone is living in New York and they call 911, how does the call not go through a hospital in Los Angeles or other city from another state? How does the call automatically transfer to a local hospital in the area one lives in?

Not always “local” I saw a car getting broken into and called the police an officer showed up and told me that after crossing the intersection he was no longer within his jurisdiction and that he would pursue the perp but he couldn’t legally do anything and he’d call it into the local PD.
