I'd love to know the research on that. Personally I thought having the Non-Emergency number plastered on Police cars was brilliant.
Police, Fire, Medical Non-Emergency options is contact and use information we should be striving to promote in any and all manners possible. I know I've used the non-emergency line frequently.
Is there a way to patch calls from 911 to the Non-Emergency lines? So that people can be directed immediately to more appropriate resources?
