GRAND TRAVERSE COUNTY, Mich. (WPBN/WGTU) — Central Dispatchers in Grand Traverse County said they are getting double the normal amount of misdials to 911.
Grand Traverse Central Dispatch posted about the rising concern on its Facebook page Thursday.
We’re averaging fifty 9-1-1 misdials and hang ups a day! That’s DOUBLE the normal average. Take a moment to learn the emergency features of your phone, and keep in mind that it may take a second to hear the ring on your end, but once you hit send on the numbers 9-1-1, you can’t stop the transmission.
Fifty misdials a day quickly adds up to more than 18,000 calls per year…
