Atlanta Police Stress Importance of Reserving 911 Calls for True Emergencies to Improve Response
The Atlanta Police Department urges residents to only use 911 for life-threatening emergencies. Misuse of the emergency service hampers response to true crises. Non-emergencies should be directed to 311. Last year, less than 4% of the 1.3 million calls were serious emergencies. The 'Make the Right Call' campaign aims to educate citizens on proper 911 usage.
