      For sure.

      If they’ve got a problem with non-emergency callers dialing 911, surely it would be best to try and reduce that problem through other means (such as fining persistent inappropriate use of 911)

      I don’t want to talk to a robot when I’m on the floor dying.

        I think the non-emergency number should be heavily advertised. I have no idea what the local one for me is (if it even exists)

          Promoting that the nunber exists as a actual thing people should use is good, yeah. :)

          The actual number isn’t so important, though. If ever needed to call the non-emergency number I’d search it up, which fortunately I can do given I’ve got loads of time because it’s not an emergency.
