PUBLIC EDUCATION
It is our goal to provide
the highest quality of service possible to the citizens we serve. It
is the intent of our department to establish formal relationships with
the communities within our jurisdiction. The aim of this program
is to
increase the community's understanding of the activities and roles of
this agency and increase the public confidence.
We welcome the opportunity to send a speaker to your location or have
your group tour our 911 center. Speakers are available at no cost
for your club or group. For more information on 911 Public Education
contact
LaDeatra Calton.
Do's For Calling 911:
- Teach your children how to use 911 wisely in case of an emergency.
- If you're calling within Arlington's city limits,
we encourage you to dial 911 instead of the 817-274-4444
(ten-digit number) for police, fire, or medical
emergency services. The same call takers answer both the 911 lines and
the 10 digit lines. If you dial 911, however, your address
and phone number are supplied from the telephone company.
That's not the case for people who dial the 10 digit number.
Don'ts For Calling 911:
- Don't call 911
when the power goes off or the weather is threatening. Call your
utility company, and monitor television and radio for weather
information.
- Don't call 911 to
see how much a traffic ticket is or to check to see if someone is in
jail.
- Don't call 911 for
directions or for miscellaneous information.
