ELT

Definition:

English Language Translation. A database table that provides the names of the emergency service agencies that serve a
particular ESZ or ESN. For wireless, PSAPs may choose an ELT that reads “Verify” for each police, fire, and EMS so that
the call taker does not auto‐dispatch an incorrect service agency without first verifying the wireless caller’s actual
location.
