While 911 is good outside your hometown, I prefer to call local - like 531-1800 for Ocean Twp. I've called 911 a few times locally in OT, and I wind up spelling the name of the street(s), spelling my name etc while the op is connecting me (trying) to Ocean Twp police. Then the police ask you why you didn't call 911 if you call direct. At least that's been my experience. also, never try to dial a 917 area code and forget what you're doing and hang up and try it 2 or 3 more times. Dial 911 (instead of "7') and do it agin, hanging up after you misdial 911. Next thing you know it, you have a swat team at your house banging on your door and you start cursing who the f is banging on the door, you open it and its the police. Experience. And sharon the police have to ask - caller id is only gives you the name of the owner of the phone and 95% of the time, the correct address. Police are dispatched (supposed to be) immediately when 911 is received to the address the call came from. And calls from cell phones don't help. All pay phones should have a built in camera and should all be monitored for illegal activity. nice, right? Yahoo!
