@aaronpk 9-1-1 Centers have the ability to patch you through to the correct one based on the location of response needed. 2/3

@evry48 That's good to know, thanks! Is that going to be faster/more reliable than calling the city's non-emergency number?

@aaronpk Look up the emergency phone number for that city police department and/or emergency number for county police

@Robbie I got through on the non-emergency number. Everything else on the site said to call 911, couldn't find an emergency non-911 number.

@aaronpk if you are calling in an emergency via cell phone you can sometimes end up in another jurisdiction. 1/3
@aaronpk if it is not an emergency call the closest business line of the Police/Fire/EMS agency. After hours usually will patch you too. 3/3
@aaronpk there used to be numbers you could call for specific 911's, but i don't know if it's still the same. you can call local emergency #
