This is a common thing for 911 dispatchers to be trained on. If you call 911 and they ask for “police, fire, or ambulance” and you just start having a normal conversation with them they’ll play along, usually with yes or no questions that can be answered with “yeah, my weekend was great thanks!”
There’s pretty much no need to say your address either. The police will already have your location from the phone call.
- csw-001 5y agoGood advice - but in my experience working with public safety answering points, the ability to get accurate location data from cell phones and viop lines can be spotty, and depends on a number of systems working correctly. That’s all to say, in general - don’t assume they know where you are, if you can tell them, do (and be very specific about location within the building).
