Can I keep driving when I call 9-1-1 on a cellular phone?

We recommend that you pull over when calling 9-1-1, as there is less chance of the cell phone signal being dropped in the middle of the call. Also, any emergency instructions that need to be carried out can best be done while you're stopped. Remember, it is best to be in one place so help can get to you, instead of trying to meet them somewhere. If you cannot safely pull over to speak to a 9-1-1 operator, then stay calm, pay attention to the roadway with surrounding vehicles, and follow the call taker's instructions.

Can I dial 9-1-1 from a payphone?

Yes. Calls to 9-1-1 from payphones are provided at no charge

What about 9-1-1 prank calls?

It's a prank call when someone calls 9-1-1 for a joke, or calls 9-1-1 and hangs up. Prank calls not only waste time and money, but can also be dangerous. If 9-1-1 lines or Telecommunicators are busy with prank calls, someone with a real emergency may not be able to get the help they need. In most places, it's against the law to make prank 9-1-1 calls.

Should I program 9-1-1 or turn on my auto 9-1-1 feature on my cellular phone?

We do not recommend that you program 9-1-1 or use the auto 9-1-1 feature on your cell phone. There are numerous accidental calls to 9-1-1 from cell phones that have this feature, especially when the cell phone inadvertently presses against another object and activates the programmed call. In most cases, cell phone owners have no idea their phone has called 9-1-1. Help reduce accidental calls to 9-1-1 by only calling when you have a life-threatening emergency.

The street sign is missing, who will put a new one up?

Where you live determines what government entity maintains street signage. If you live within the city limits of a municipality, that municipality maintains those street signs. If you live outside a municipality, Pike County maintains those street signs. No matter where you live, you can always contact the Pike County 9-1-1 Business Office to report any issue with street signs and we will contact the appropriate government entity.
