LA 911 has two Call Centers; Downtown and West Hills. 911 receives 2.1 Million calls per year, 40-45% are non-emergency. 911 is to be used only for a crime that has just occurred, crime in progress or preservation of life. Non-emergency numbers for other concerns: 877-ASK-LAPD or 311 or 211 for LA County. When calling 911 it is helpful to have as many details as possible, i.e. suspect description and location. All calls receive an incident number with timestamp and priority code. All calls are recorded. Non-emergency dispatch may be utilized for overflow of high volume of calls. 911 Dispatch routs calls through Language Bank to communicate in any language. Land-lines auto-populate location, however verification is required. Cell phones are not automatically located; location details are important. Cell phone calls have increased from 65% in 2011 to 85% in 2012. 911 operators communicate simultaneously with responding LAFD, LAPD units, and caller. Downtown Call Center has70 p.m. operators/dispatchers, and 55-60 in Valley Center. Call Centers equipped with 72 hour generators and estimated to withstand an 8.2 magnitude earthquake.
