If you have an emergency,

How do I know if a situation is an emergency or non-emergency?
An emergency is when there is an immediate threat to life, limb, or property. For example, if a
person is actively being assaulted, that could constitute an
immediate threat to their life or limbs. An example of an immediate threat to property would be
smoke or flames coming out of a residence - or - a burglary that is currently taking place. A
non-emergency would be when a crime has already
occurred and there is no immediate threat to life, limb, or property. For example, a person was
assaulted yesterday, but wants to file a police report today and is in no current danger of losing
their life or limbs. This would constitute
a non-emergency. An example of a non-emergency relating to property would be damaged or stolen
property. For instance, a damaged mailbox is a non-emergency. For more information on how to use
