Frequently Asked Questions
Dial 9-1-1 in an emergency only. If an emergency situation (a crime, fire, serious injury or illness) arises, ask yourself whether police, fire department, or medical assistance is needed right now to protect life or property. If the answer is “yes”, then immediately dial 9-1-1 and advise the telecommunicator of what has happened or is happening.
If you are not sure whether or not the situation is an emergency, call 9-1-1 and let the our telecommunicators make that determination. Always call 9-1-1 to report a fire, report a possible medical emergency, or to report a crime in progress.
- Stay calm. Give the telecommunicator your name, location, and nature of the emergency.
- Listen carefully to the telecommunicator.
- When the telecommunicator asks you questions, try to answer them as accurately as possible. Speak clearly and slowly.
- Do exactly as the telecommunicator tells you during the course of the call.
- Never hang up until you are told to do so.
