9-1-1 Tween Hero! At 12 years-old this brave girl called 9-1-1 for her mom who was having a medical emergency. She agreed the 9-1-1 education in schools is important for future reference. Between the education she has received and her own experience having to call 911, she said her confidence is high for responding to an emergency situation. El Paso-Teller 911 Authority

Great reminder from Plano 911..
LOCK IT BEFORE YOU POCKET.
9-1-1 call takers receive numerous accidental calls to 9-1-1. Make sure your phone is not able to make an unintended call to 9-1-1. If you do accidentally call 9-1-1, DON'T hang up. Stay on the line and inform 9-1-1 calltaker that it was an accident.

This article isn't from a dispatcher in our area, but it's perfectly written about what any 9-1-1 calltaker deals with answering calls from any town--big or small.
"We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, nights, weekends, and holidays. We are always here for you, for anyone, for everyone in need of emergency help...We rejoice when we are successful, we grieve when we are not, not ever having met the people in person."

Contact 9-1-1 for a real emergency requiring police, fire or medical assistance. If you need help about a crime that is not in progress, call the 10-digit number to the police or sheriff's office. Great tip from @NCT9_1_1 #publicsafety #911saveslives
