Mainly I was thinking that since I gave the dispatcher the home phone number, I didn't want them calling back and waking up my wife or daughter. Guess I could also give the cell #. So I take it that these kinds of calls are taken pretty seriously?KRM45 wrote:Good job calling it in. I recommend you tell the dispatcher you want to be contacted though. The officer that shows up could use what little description you could give him to help him find the area. That way you don't worry about whether you should go out and talk to them. When they are ready they will call or stop by.
I guess that depends on where you live. Here in the DFW area they take them seriously. I guess in the more rural areas it may be different.
