Emergency
(police, fire, paramedics)
dial 9-1-1
It’s understandable some people have issues with police departments and their policies, as well as the actions of some of their members. In the event of an emergency, however, 9-1-1 is still the best number to call. We cannot in good conscience support enlisting the aid of armed civilians when police departments are available, and therefor strongly suggest putting aside any differences you may have with your local police for the duration of the emergency which prompts their participation.
