Expect pauses and long periods of silence. Most of interacting with 911 is answering questions to the best of your ability. Again the dispatcher will probably ask this, so you don’t have to remember to add it. If no air bags were deployed, report that too. If car safety air bags have been deployed, tell the dispatcher “Air bags deployed in one (or both or multiple) vehicles.” The EMTs will want to escort any passengers who have come into contact with an air bag to the hospital. Welfare: This is where the ambulance question comes in. You don’t need to remember to add “no weapons” to each and every 911 call. Otherwise, wait for the dispatcher to inquire about weapons. “Active shooter” or “shots fired” will do the trick and should be the first thing after “where” that you report. If there are live shots, say that right away. By all means, if you have seen a weapon, then report that. NOT: “I think he goes to DCCC because he kind of had that look about him.” These are examples of answers to dispatcher questions for descriptions: Red long sleeve shirt. You can put your votes in for which bad guy did it when the police come to take your statement. Answer the questions as best you can and as asked. Wait until the dispatcher asks you for descriptions of perpetrators, suspects or victims. The dispatcher may ask for more information later, but when you are first reporting, keep it as short as possible. Relay just the facts, Ma’am, and only the most current facts at that. Do not go into how the driver was speeding, for how many weeks the person has had chest pains, or what your opinion is on what caused unconsciousness. What: car accident, chest pains, unconsciousness. Sit in silence until the dispatcher speaks to you. If the danger is past, expect long pauses from the dispatcher. If the danger is immediate and ongoing, the dispatcher will give you instructions. When: Report if the danger is happening now or has already occurred. The dispatcher will send someone immediately. If you can’t speak, call from a landline when possible and leave the phone live. The dispatcher cannot tell where cell phones are calling from. Where: Know the address or cross streets of where you are. When you call 911, immediately say “This is a non-emergency police call for Haverford Township.” When reporting an emergency, follow the six W’s of 911: Where, What, When, Who, Weapons, Welfare.
