A 25 year old woman from Delhi called 911 when her mom questioned her about the amount of video games she has been playing.
DELHI - Police are once again reminding residents to only use 9-1-1 for emergencies.
Recently a 25 year old woman from Delhi called 911 because their mother was upset over the amount of video games they were playing.
On average, it takes at least two officers approximately thirty minutes to respond, investigate and clear the call. This puts enormous pressure on OPP resources when officers respond to unnecessary calls that can be prevented.
The use of 911 for emergency response continues to save lives when used appropriately and the OPP want those who need urgent help to use 911. The OPP also encourages families to discuss proper use of 911 to prevent hang ups and misdials from occurring.
