First Question: What is the location of the emergency?
Please provide an address, intersection, mile marker or, in the case of a wilderness or park area, the name of a trail or a landmark nearby.
A growing number of people use cell phones instead of traditional land line phones when calling 9-1-1. Telecommunicators are unable to receive a specific location from a cell phone call. It is important to know your location during an emergency so that you can provide that detail to emergency services.
Second Question: What is your emergency?
Telecommunicators will want to know the nature of the emergency to determine if police, fire, and/or medical response is required.
*Please note: By answering additional questions, there is no delay in response time. Officers are immediately dispatched to your location. Additional questions are intended to ensure proper emergency support personnel and resources arrive on scene.
