Dispatch Seeks Input About Accidental 911 Calls
911 accidental calls have increased recently. Other 911 centers in Michigan are seeing this trend as well. This week, Calhoun County Consolidated Dispatch Authority answered 24 percent more 911 calls than the same week last year. While some of that may be attributed to weather, some is also influenced by these accidental dials.
 
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
  • If your phone calls 911 on accident, don't panic! Please stay on the line and let the 911 telecommunicator know. 

  • If your phone has called 911 accidentally since May 1, 2023, we would like to hear from you! We are trying to collect data to determine if there is a commonality in the cause for the increase of these calls. Please complete this brief survey, https://forms.gle/hGTdW5KLvmjbYyeu8
