Not sure when you retired, but that is a major league Federal offense. Heavy fines for doing that. 911 calls MUST be routed to a Public Safety Answering Point. Period. Doesn’t mean that other agencies or offices can’t be notified of the call when made. But the call MUST land at a PSAP.

Interesting. Thanks for posting that. I retired more than a decade ago. And at least until that time all of our school’s 911 calls automatically went right to the school district’s central office, who turned them over to the school police.
Maybe that’s how they got away with it. The 911 calls did go to a police authority, the school police. Now here’s the thing. Our school police were quite useless. They were unarmed, and completely under the thumb of the central administrators.
Quick story: A colleague of mine was attacked by an angry, out-of-control student in her classroom. My colleague was badly injured. The school police responded, and wrote it up. The report said my colleague was walking down the hallway, and fell and hurt herself.
