I've had multiple Fort Worth officers say to call 911 instead of the non-emergency number. The rationale they've all provided is the same people answer the phones; if you call 911 they will prioritize your call appropriately, but if you call non-emergency you're automatically at the bottom; and no one is going to come write you a ticket for improper use of 911.bmwrdr wrote:That's what I will do in case.

I have called the non emergency number and they haven't even bothered to show or make a follow up call.
This may not be the case everywhere, but it seems to be pretty wide spread in Fort Worth.
