Yesterday, police received 19 hang-up 911 calls.
The Chatham-Kent Police Service would like to remind all citizens that if you accidentally dial 911, please remain on the line.
This will allow the call taker to determine the appropriate police response, if any is required.
Should you hang-up, the call taker will assume that it is an emergency and dispatch police.
911 hang-up calls have the potential to consume considerable resources, so please stay on the line.
