Police Call Taker & Peer Coach Kim shares that “we get hundreds of accidental dials on 9-1-1 every day, which ties up critical 9-1-1 lines.”
#911Tip: To help prevent accidental 9-1-1 calls for iPhone users, disable the “call with side button” for the “Emergency SOS” feature. That way, if the side button is pressed multiple times by accident, you won’t dial 9-1-1 accidentally.
