Is this a hotel? Why no 13th?

Which is honestly insane, 911 should be for emergencies and time-sensitive issues only.

Wrong. Most of these precincts do not pick up the phone. The few that do then tell you to call 911.

Often it is, but once they were able to tell me where my car had been courtesy at least. 3rd District.

They skip quite a few numbers.
10, 13, 20-21, 23, 27-34, 36-38, 40-76
They also wreck the phone number format on the Airport division. It isn’t a valid number.

911 is a lot easier to remember, and to dial.

Yeah and in this city they have you call 911 for illegal parking. It’s nuts. Probably because 311 is inept.

It's saying they have two numbers... the first six are the same, but one of them ends with 7,and one ends with 8.

911 doesn't pick up either fwiw

This is objectively horrible to keep on hand. You will not get anyone dispatched to save you by calling the police department- that’s literally not how this works! Call 911 if you need someone dispatched.

When did I say to use it for a 911 dispatch?
Disastrous-Spray6290 t1_itd5bns wrote
Literally the top of the sign says to use it to stop a crime or save a life. That’s not at all what you should do in that situation.

Yes. Stop just raising your hand and get informed.
