Hears a thought to consider…

MYTH: You should hang up if you accidentally call 911.

FACT: Stay on the line and let the telecommunicator know it was accidental.

Accidental 911 calls happen, but hanging up can create confusion and may result in a callback or dispatch to confirm your safety.

If you call 911 by mistake, the best thing you can do is stay on the line and clearly communicate that there is no emergency.

Tuesday and Wednesday of this week a few of us were able to participate in the ALTERT (Alabama Telecommunicators Emergency Response Taskforce) Training class. The amazing class was presented by ALTERT Coordinator, Kristi Stamnes and ALTERT Deputy Coordinator Jeff Dempsy. The training offers our agency the availability to be deployed to other agencies around the state and beyond if disaster strikes. It allows us to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.
Thanks to everyone that had a hand in delivering this amazing opportunity. The class presented was very thorough and informative. If you would like more information on ALTERT and their capabilities, check out https://www.alabamatert.com
