"911, What is your emergency?" OOPS!

911

If you accidentally call 911 and tell the operator it was a mistake, they may not automatically send someone out as long as you clearly explain the situation and there are no signs of distress. However, policies can vary depending on your location.

In many areas, operators are trained to verify the safety of the caller before ending the call. If the operator suspects that there might be a problem (like hearing background noise, hesitation, or anything unusual), they may still dispatch emergency personnel to check on the situation just to be safe. It's important to stay on the line and explain it was a mistake rather than hanging up, as hanging up can sometimes lead to a response.
