Police Crime Report

For the Week ending April 23, 2012

Tips of the Week:

The Rockville City Police Department would like to provide parents with a few tips in teaching their children the proper way to use 9-1-1 to report emergencies:

• Never say “nine eleven”. Since there is no eleven on the keypad or dial, always say “nine-one-one.
• Post your address near the phone. Teach your child to memorize your address and phone number. (In case your child needs to leave the house to make the call from a neighbor’s home.)
• Teach your child to always call from a safe place. If there is a fire in the house, teach them to get out first and then call.
• Teach your child never to call 9-1-1 as a prank or joke. Explain to your child that they can get into trouble and keep someone who really needs help from getting it on time.
• Explain to your child that 9-1-1 is not for animal emergencies.
• Teach your child that when calling 9-1-1 for an emergency, how to explain the situation to the dispatcher. Tell your child that they should remain calm and to give their name and address to the dispatcher and to explain why they are calling. Teach your child to listen carefully to the dispatcher, as he or she may give them important information that can possibly help during the emergency.
• Teach your child that if they call 9-1-1 by mistake, not to hang up. They should explain their mistake to the dispatcher and say there is not an emergency.
