What is the difference between E911 and 911?

The 911 and E911 Systems are both emergency phone systems, the only difference is that a basic 911 System only provides a direct point of contact to a public safety agency.  An Enhanced 911 (E-911) System takes it a step further by providing the caller's address and telephone of where the call originated from. The Isanti County Sheriff's Office has an Enhanced 911 System (E911).
