What Phone Number For Police Emergency ?
A police emergency occurs while riding on a DART bus or train. Out comes the cell phone and "911" is dialed --- whoops ... WRONG ! One needs to look around the DART vehicle to fine the 214-xxx-xxxx number for DART Police. They have jurisdiction there. While on public school property and a crime is observed -- does one call the DISD police or "911" ? .. While in a Dallas hospital and police are needed -- does one call "911" or hospital security?
The above are great questions. And remember, delays in calling the correct phone number can result in further property loss, injury or death to a victim. What a predicament Dallas citizens find themselves in at times --- let alone a visitor to our city.
[Ed Note: Everytime I've called 911, they have transferred me to DART PD or DISD. But others seem to have had other experiences.]
