Huron OPP receive several fake 911 calls HURON — Huron OPP kept busy last month attending false 911 phone calls. Officers have responded to 186 with the vast majority non -emer- gent. In 2005, Huron OPP received 1,214 calls. A large majority of these cases involved a person misdialing a number or causing the emergency number to be dialed due to a speed dial setting. In a number of cases children playing with telephones has been identified as a cause for the call. When a call is placed to 911 it's treated as an emergency call for help. If no information is available on what services are needed, which is the case if the caller hangs up or says nothing, then police are dis- patched to the location where the call originated to make certain help isn't needed. This call results in two officers dispatched and becomes a priority call. False calls could result in a delay of service to someone needing assistance. Huron OPP ask the public to be aware of the number dialed when phoning out.
