Now that 911 exists, there is no easy way to get ahold of proper authorities for non emergency police issues.
For instance, I got rear ended in a car accident in the Cincinnati suburbs. It wasn’t an emergency since no one was hurt. So I tried a local municipality PD that I thought I was in. Had to google their phone number. They tell me not their jurisdiction but would not directly connect me to the correct guys.
I called them and they too said “not us“ and to call a third municipality but gave me the number!
Turns out it was a strip of Township I was in and needed the County Sheriff deputies.
I was getting pissed and the govt employees all acted offended that I was bothering them.
The US needs a localized 811 system for non emergency calls.
Even when you call the non-emergency number it’s never their responsibility and they pass you on and on and on and on until you give up because no one wants to accept responsibility and do their job. BTDT.
