In the last week, the Town of East Troy Police Department has processed several accidental 911 calls. According to the Police Department, they MUST follow up on every single one, and send emergency resources to many to confirm there is no emergency. The obvious consequence is that responses to emergencies can be delayed due to officers' response to accidental dials. If you do accidentally call 911, STAY ON THE LINE and verify all information.
Most smartphones and watches have Emergency SOS features that may be activated by pressing the volume or power buttons multiple times (depending on the operating system or phone). To deactivate those features, follow the steps below.
