I recommend that whatever city you are in, you have a shortcut to the police on your home screen (perhaps buried a little, so you don't accidentally butt dial it).
- giancarlostoro 8y agoIs there some sort of app for this sorta thing? I mean with numbers of police departments by city... I often wonder, sometimes depending on the trouble its a little smarter to call the police station directly especially if you know you need police and not... an ambulance or fire department.
- hawkesnest 8y agoI had an eye-opening experience with this. My android phone's home screen was locked, but somehow I managed to butt-dial emergency services. It wasn't until the police knocked on my door that I looked at my device to see what had happened. They were able to accurately find me at my house in an average suburban neighborhood. While I was pleased at the response, I was also quite embarrassed to have taken these folks away from more urgent matters.
- e40 8y agoI wonder if after the butt dial, your butt locked the phone (or it auto-locked after a time)?
