Finding the Owner of a Rental House
#21
Its easy, if you think there is a chance it would of turned violent, or there is possibility of serious harm or injury, then call 911. Even if its not really 911 worthy, you will not be chastised for making an honest mistake. For reporting something of no urgency (most vehicle collisions, stolen bike/vehicle, break and enter (not active), etc.), then the non-emergency number is correct. Regardless, the call ends up with the same operator [prioritized in sequential order, AFTER 911 calls]. There are a limited number of 911 lines into the dispatch centre, which is why it is discouraged for non-emergency use. [When the max 911 lines are filled, new callers receive a "your call is important to us"-like recording. Not what you want when there is an intruder in your house, or suffering a heart attack. I saw it happen once, and trust me, the dispatchers were frantic to clear the lines quickly, something they don't normally do.]

Calling 911 to report they are out of Chicken McNuggets is NEVER acceptable.
