What is an emergency?

  • Fires

  • Crimes in Progress

  • Vehicle accidents with injuries

  • Family Disturbances

  • Breathing problems

  • Choking, unconsciousness

  • Poisoning

  • Drowning

  • Stabbing

  • Other life-threatening situations

In an Emergency, Remember to:

  • Stay Calm

  • Speak Clear

  • State Your Location

  • State Who You Need – police, fire or EMS

911 is an important number to remember!

  • 911 should be dialed only if an emergency exists!!

  • If someone dials 911 and there is not a true emergency, the dispatch operators may refer you to the non-emergency number 417-778-7888…this is to keep the 911 line open for those true emergencies!!

  • Please only use 911 if a true emergency exists!!

*Note: When you dial 9-1-1 from a cellular/mobile telephone, the 9-1-1 dispatcher may ask you specific questions about where you are located and may also route your call to a 9-1-1 answering point in another jurisdiction. This is due to how 9-1-1 calls from a cellular telephone are routed to dispatch centers.
