Does 911 call you back if you hang up?
Stay on the line and let them know that you do not have an emergency. When you hang up, the 9-1-1 telecommunicator will have to call you back in order to ensure you are safe. Many 9-1-1 hang up calls are crimes in progress. We consider every 9-1-1 hang up to be an emergency unless we are able to verify otherwise. We always call 9-1-1 hang up calls back. If we receive an answering machine, no answer, busy signal, or the person sounds suspicious, law enforcement is immediately dispatched.
