PsapAhjValidateAndLookupUS takes either a latitude/longitude or an address and returns the public safety access point (PSAP) that services the location. A PSAP is a call center that provides emergency services. PsapAhjValidateAndLookupUS also determines the EMS, police and fire fighting authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) for the location. PsapAhjLookupUS only supports locations in the United States.
PsapAhjValidateAndLookupUS provides more robust address validation capabilities than PsapAhjLookupUS. Use PsapAhjValidateAndLookupUS when you want to process addresses that are of low or unknown quality and may contain typos or missing address elements.
