Unintentional 9-1-1 calls become a public safety issue and strain law enforcement resources. Police are reminding people to lock your key pad on your mobile device and to prevent small children from playing with these devices.

If you place an unintended 9-1-1 call, it is important that you stay on the line as every call is taken seriously. When you stay on the line, it gives you the opportunity to speak with an operator. If you hang up, we will call back.

It is important that you answer as we are trying to determine if there is an emergency. If there is no answer on a call back, alternative steps and additional resources may be required to locate the caller. Every second counts when someone is waiting for an emergency operator to pick up a 9-1-1 call.

The Belleville Police Service thanks everyone for their attention to this potentially life saving matter.
