Crime Prevention Month Weekly Safety Tip: Make the Right Call
October is Crime Prevention Month. This week we focus on “Make the Right Call”. This message was posted by Officer Dan Lane at the Gaithersburg Police Department.
Make the Right Call by using 9-1-1 only for emergencies and (301)279-8000 only to report non-emergencies. Having a better understanding of when to call each of these important phone numbers will help ensure that your specific need is most effectively met.
