Know when to call “911”?

Don't hesitate to call 911. The 911 system was created to make it easy to request police, fire or medical response.

Junction City Police Department is a secondary 911 meaning if you dial “911” your call will not come directly into our dispatch center. Eugene Police Department is our primary 911 in the area and your calls will go to them first and they will send you on to Junction City if your call is in our jurisdiction. They will assist you in determining the appropriate response to your call.

 

The Eugene 911 system is an enhanced system, meaning that dispatchers will already have some data to help identify the location from which your call is being made. However, they will ask you a few questions to help them determine the type of assistance and where it is needed.

Call 911 whenever you need police, fire or medical response.

Some examples of 911 situations:

· Fire.

· Crime in progress.

· Life-threatening situations.

· When someone needs an ambulance.

· Situations where personal injury has occurred or may occur.

 

Accidental calls to 911

If you accidentally call 911, do not hang up without talking to the dispatcher.

Explain that you misdialed and didn't mean to call 911. This will save the dispatcher some very valuable time.

If you hang up without talking to the dispatcher, they will call you back. On average, the dispatchers have to call back for 911 hang up calls 300 times a month. If they receive a busy signal, voice mail or no answer, they will dispatch police officers to verify that everything is all right. Approximately 70 times each month we dispatch officers to verify 911 hang up calls.

 

911 and digital networks

With the increasing use of digital networks, users need to be aware that due to extremely quiet switching, once you have dialed 911, it may seem like your call did not connect.

Callers are hanging up and redialing. It may take upwards of eight seconds to connect from the time you finish dialing. If you are sure you dialed 911, stay on the line and wait until the dispatcher answers or at least 15 seconds has gone by before trying again.

This may seem like an eternity when you are at the scene of an emergency, but stay on the line; your call will go through.

 

911 from cell phones

The number of 911 calls placed by people using wireless phones has more than tripled since 1995, to over 150 million a year. It is anticipated that by 2005, the majority of 911 calls will be from wireless callers. Public safety personnel estimate that about 30% of the 911 calls they receive daily are placed from wireless phones, and that percentage is growing.

For many Americans, the ability to call 911 for help in an emergency is one of the main reasons they own a wireless phone. To be effective, callers need to know how to properly use cellular phones and what information dispatchers need in an emergency.

A wireless phone is actually a radio with a transmitter and a receiver that uses radio frequencies or channels --instead of telephone wire -- to connect callers. Because wireless phones are by their very nature mobile, they are not associated with one fixed location or address. A caller using a wireless phone could be calling from anywhere. While the location of the cell tower used to carry a 911 call may provide a very general indication of the location of the caller, that information is not usually specific enough for rescue personnel to deliver assistance to the caller quickly. As of this date the standards are anywhere from 50 to 300 meter accuracy depending on your wireless device and service provider.

Because wireless 911 location information will not be available everywhere immediately, it is important for people calling 911 from wireless phones to remember the following:

Try to stay calm and speak slowly.

Tell the dispatcher the location of the emergency right away. Pay attention to details such as:

· Addresses.

· Business names.

· Intersections.

· Street names.

· Mile markers or exit numbers if on the highway.

· Direction of travel.

· Give the dispatcher your wireless phone number so that if the call gets disconnected, the dispatcher    can call you back.

· Stay on the line until the dispatcher tells you to hang up.

· Don't place yourself in danger - stay near the emergency scene only if it is safe.

· If your wireless phone is not "initialized" (i.e., you do not have a contract for service with a wireless        service provider), and your emergency call gets disconnected, you must call the dispatcher back        because he or she does not have your telephone number and cannot contact you.

· Refrain from programming your phone to automatically dial 911 when one button, such as the "9"      key, is pressed. Unintentional wireless 911 calls, which often occur when auto-dial keys are    inadvertently pressed, cause problems for emergency services call centers.

· If your wireless phone came preprogrammed with the auto-dial 911 feature already turned on, turn off this feature. Check your user manual to find out how. Lock your keypad when you're not using your wireless phone. This action also prevents accidental calls to 911.

 

Non-emergency calls

If your call is not an emergency, please call the Junction City Police Department at

541 998-1245.

· Questions about impounded vehicles.

· If you wish to speak with an officer or have one return your call animal control.

· To speak with a officer about your case.

· To file a report

· OR any other non emergency issue.

 

Keep my home safe?

· Good four–corner exterior lighting is important, particularly when the yard is obscured by shrubbery or dark areas. Good security lighting need not be expensive. A home owner can install flood lights under eaves to illuminate the walls and to expose anyone next to the home.

· Solidly built gates and properly built fences are the first line of defense against illegal or unwanted entry. Equip all gates with good locks and use them.

· Shrubbery can be an asset or hindrance to criminals. Be sure to prune large trees so their limbs don't provide roof access or second–story window access. Keep shrubs trimmed below window sills and low around entrances. You don't want to provide concealment for a burglar.

· Use security shrubs or plants with prickly leaves or thorns to act as a natural barrier.

· All exterior wooden doors should be of solid core or panel construction with a thickness of at least 1 3/4 inches. For added security, metal doors are advisable.

· Doorknob locks offer no security. Defeating the doorknob lock is one of the most common means of forced entry. All exterior doors should have a deadbolt lock mounted in a solid core door.

· Do not leave curtains open in the home so your furnishings are on display to passing strangers.

· Engrave belongings with your driver's license number whenever practical.

· Burglars often try to find out if anyone is home by phoning. If you get several suspicious "wrong number" calls or "nobody–at–the–other–end" calls, alert the police. Warn family members, especially children, not to give out information by phone.

· Do not keep large sums of cash around the house.

· It is important that your house looks lived in while you are away. Keep lights on timers and be sure to have a neighbor take in your newspapers and mail.

· Make sure emergency vehicles can find your home in an emergency. Minutes lost hunting for the correct address can be costly. Have your house numbers clearly mounted on a high contrast background and make sure the numbers can be easily read from the street at night.
