Sorry, Wrong Number
Some of the unnecessary reasons people call 911 according to Los Angeles Police Chief Willie L. Williams:
* “Where’s my welfare check?”
* “How do I get to Disneyland?”
* Where are the best seats in the Coliseum?”
* “What time is it?”
* “Is the neighborhood safe where I’m looking to buy a house?”
* “Oh, I thought this was directory information.”
