It is good idea to call 911. By the time they arrive on the scene, if you justifiably deployed deadly force, they will have heads up on what is going on.PappaGun wrote:The last couple of Neighborhood Association meetings where I live that our beat officer attended we were told to call 911 for any thing and every thing. I'm in the city of Dallas.
I've only lived in Texas for a couple of years and this really threw me.
In fact, I had previously looked in the phone book for a non-emergency number and could not find one.
Where I previously lived, if you called 911 for any thing other than a true emergency you were read the riot act for tying up emergency lines with non-emergency calls.
In fact, the 911 and non-emergency lines were on the same system and answered by the same operators. They just wanted to keep them separate.
I have called 911 twice for very minor, decidely non-emergency situations. It seems weird, but that's what Dallas wants.
