Reply to comment by omninascent in LPT Keep the police non-emergency number in your phone contacts wherever you live/work. You never know when you might need it. by whitlockian
Many times I have been driving, seen something that require police attention, like a stalled car in the middle of a busy road, and said “hey Siri call Mytown Police”. I got the police and told them the location. I didn’t have to pull over and look it up.

Not everyone has/wants voice control or Siri.

Sure, but for those who do, having the phone number of the police in the phone makes it trivial to make the call. The scenario i described has happened to me at least three times in the past year.
If the LPT is not for you, that’s fine. No need to argue against it.

Just dial 911, theyll transfer you if they deem it not an emergency, they have plenty of operators. In fact, you are helping them do their job, not taking up time and preventing others from calling in. If you need cops, you need cops.
