slutslave4u -> RE: the last time I called 911 (2/5/2009 2:27:32 PM)

The systems are not all fool proof...and no not the same in all areas, as where I am at 911 calls from cell phones do not go to Hwy patrol, but to police department/county sherrifs departments depending on the location of the call at the time. Can they have issues? yes, can and are they being worked out, one would like to think so yes, as most agencies do tend to try to keep their systems updated as much as possible. The more populated area's and larger agencies yes of course will have several dispatchers on duty at all times......I was in law enforcement for many years.....true yes the systems are being abused. We had a lady call 911 several times every night, only to ask "what time is it", turns out she was elderly, had no one, and simply wanted someone to talk to now and then, yes of course time and visits to her home to check on her now and then were needed to curb the problem. But it does happen
