As individuals may not realize that they will need to give certain information to dispatchers when calling 9-1-1. the display includes some of the more commonly asked questions. Callers should be able to describe the nature of the emergency. They will need to provide the location and street address of the emergency as well as the phone number from which they are calling. Dispatchers frequently ask about additional details. Like injuries, medical symptoms or physical descriptions of any person who is suspected of having committed a crime.
