*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
When a home invasion or any other emergency happens, you want help immediately. Such situations often escalate quickly, requiring you to respond quickly. Calling 911 will get police officers and other emergency responders moving in your direction. What you say, and what you don't say, during a 911 call can dramatically impact the result. In order to help the 911 dispatcher send the right help quickly, you'll want to answer three critical questions: Who you are, where you are, and what is the emergency. Make yourself as easy to understand as possible. Even though you will be overwhelmed by the situation, screaming unintelligible words into the phone won't help the police react quickly.
If you need an ambulance or paramedic, state it as soon as possible so that appropriate help can be sent. If you know that your assailant is armed, tell the operator what kind of weapon, in as much detail as possible. This information is passed on to the responding officers, and can help them prepare for the situation. Describe the assailant's physical appearance to aid police in identifying both the assailant and the victim(s) when they arrive on the scene. Keep the backstory to a minimum, but do provide these critical details to the 911 operator.
Many people assume that the 911 dispatcher can track down the exact location given only a phone number. While this may be true if you are calling from a land line, and some sophisticated systems can pinpoint the location if a cell phone is used, in many cases this is not possible, or cannot be done quickly enough. If you are calling from a prepaid cell phone or a cell phone that is not connected to one of the major service providers, you will need to provide your exact location. The operator must know where you are before they send someone.
Your 911 call will also be recorded, and it serves as an electronic witness to the incident. If you are involved in a criminal or civil court case as a result of the crime, it may be introduced as evidence. Although your number one priority will be getting police to your location quickly, it's also important to consider what you're saying to make sure the recording is a strong witness for your side. There is a fine line between self defense and unprovoked violence; anything you say during the call can be used in court.
No matter how you plan to protect yourself from the threat of violence, be careful what you say or do while on the line with the 911 dispatcher. Although the operator will try to keep you on the line and chat with you, this may not be in your best interest. Consider also the possibility that the intruder will overhear this conversation and determine your location within the home. If you do plan to confront the attacker with violence, either using a firearm or using a nonlethal self defense device, do not explain your actions or intended actions to the 911 dispatcher.
To help 911 operators do their job, only call 911 for actual emergencies. Every city has a non-emergency police line for issues that do not require immediate attention. Do not let children play with your cell phone, even if it's in the locked position or isn't connected to a service plan. Even if the operator believes they've received a prank call, they are obligated to send police to investigate.
