Chief’s Tip of the Week: Calling 911 by accident, although embarrassing, is not a crime. However, if you do accidentally dial 911 please stay on the line and do not hang up. Tell the call taker it was an accident and explain the situation. This will help prevent emergency response when it is not needed.
