When should I call 9-1-1?

9-1-1 should be used for emergencies only. An emergency is a crime in-progress and/or a life-threatening situation requiring the police, fire department or ambulance. If you are unsure if your situation is an emergency you should dial "9-1-1". The 9-1-1 call taker can determine if you need emergency assistance, or direct you to a non-emergency number.
