During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the volume and categorization of 911 calls, highlighting a significant distinction between emergency and non-emergency calls. According to the data presented, the emergency response system handles approximately 614 calls daily, amounting to a total of 89,707 emergency calls over the course of a year.

In contrast, non-emergency calls reached a staggering 132,125 within the same timeframe. These non-emergency calls primarily involve coordination of responses rather than immediate threats to life or property. Officials clarified that calls deemed non-emergency are categorized as administrative, indicating that they do not require urgent intervention.

This discussion underscores the importance of public awareness regarding the appropriate use of emergency services, as the volume of non-emergency calls can impact the efficiency of response teams. The meeting emphasized the need for continued education on the distinction between emergency and non-emergency situations to ensure that resources are allocated effectively.
