What Can I Do to Make 911 Work Better

  1. Don't use 911 to play games.
  2. False 911 calls tie up the lines and could prevent a genuine emergency call from getting through.
  3. Don't call for situations that are not time sensitive or which do not require the response of police, fire or emergency medical services. 
  4. Don't call 911 to report inconveniences such as no electricity or plumbing problems or to ask for weather reports or other information instead call the administrative line - 574-267-5667. 
  5. Post your house number clearly so emergency responders can find you quickly.
