dialed 911, if this is an emergency stay on the line, otherwise hang up”.
There are blogs out there how to do it, I can find it for you if you want to go
this route. 9911 goes out normal.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Lately
we've been seeing more and more 911 calls go out of our building by
"accident." None of our route patterns have changed
lately. I'm not sure why this could be happening. A couple of
questions.</span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">1.
Is there a good way to prevent this from happening? Is anyone else doing anything
special to prevent this?</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">2. I'm
trying to find a way to report on the 911 calls and am unable to find a report
that will accommodate my needs. Does anyone know of reports to run for
this?</span></p>
