How 9-1-1 Works

Be prepared to give the 9-1-1 operator the following information:

1. Identify yourself, your location, and phone number from
which you are calling. If you are injured or unable to speak into
the phone, the 9-1-1 system automatically displays the phone number
and address of the calling location, but the operator will need you to
verify this information if you are physically able.
2. Type of crime. Was it a burglary, robbery, assault, or
shooting? If you are not sure of the type of crime or if there are
multiple incidents, explain in detail to the 9-1-1 operator exactly what
happened.
3. When and where did the crime occur? Is the crime in
progress? How long ago did it occur? Give the exact location of
where the incident occurred. Then, where you want to meet the deputy
if it is different from where you are calling.
4. Suspect information. Give the operator as much information about
the suspect and vehicle as you can. Clothing, physical characteristics,
license number, vehicle color, and direction of travel are very important.
5. WEAPONS INVOLVED. Were WEAPONS used in the crime? Who
had the weapons, how many and what kind of weapons, and where are
the weapons now? Were suspects or victims injured?
