Calling 911 from Cellular Phones
All calls placed to 911 from cellular phones will be routed to the closest PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point). You must tell the Dispatcher the jurisdiction from which you are calling from.
When you call 911 using a cellular phone, the dispatcher will not be able to determine your location. It is especially important for you to keep the following tips in mind when calling 911 from a cellular phone:
- Immediately state your location and direction of travel.
- Speak clearly when stating your emergency. At times, the noise from other passing cars may interfere.
- Give the dispatcher your cellular phone number in case you are disconnected.
- Don't endanger your own life to report a crime. If you see a crime in progress, call 911 immediately and give all the information you have. If you follow a suspect vehicle to get a description or tag number, stay at a safe distance behind and NEVER approach the vehicle or persons involved.
