When You Need to Call 911

Calling 911

If you witness or are in a situation you consider an emergency and you feel that Law Enforcement, Fire, or Emergency Medical Services response in needed…

Call 911

What to know when you call:

  • What is going on – what and who you are seeing?
  • Where are you – Location, as specific as possible?
  • Is a vehicle involved – CYMBAL (color, year, make, body, license)?
  • What is your name and phone number?

Stay calm – Speak clearly – Let the operator ask the questions, and above all else:

DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN HARMS WAY

Do not worry if you don’t have all the answers, just do the best you can.

Inadvertently call 911?

Don’t hang up.

Merely explain that you are fine and that the call was an accident.

Dispatch is required to follow-up on hang-ups.
