ABC Listen (Australia) 14/11/2024 Audio, Feature Calling the Police via 911 Versus a Non-Emergency Number: Variation Among Telephone Reporting Methods and their Implications for Public Safety Much police activity occurs at the request of the public. Most requests from the public are received by the police via telephone. I assessed and compared the characteristics of ~255,000 police calls for service generated via calls to 911 and non-emergency numbers. Dispatched calls for service generated via 911 calls were, on average, higher priority and dispatched faster and to more officers who arrived quicker and spent longer on-scene than dispatched calls for service generated via non-emergency calls. Nonetheless, many emergent events were reported via non-emergency numbers. I highlight the implications of telephone reporting methods for public safety, interrogate the concept of an “emergency” as it applies to policing, and describe the importance of non-emergency call handling for policing operations.

Yet, the well-being of more than 300,000 non-sworn personnel, particularly regarding work-related trauma and stress, remains underexplored. This study aims to test the hypothesis that non-sworn personnel experience lower levels of stress, comparing stress and probable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) between sworn and non-sworn personnel. The study recruited 283 sworn and 85 non-sworn personnel from two large urban law enforcement agencies in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, between May and October 2021, coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic and the civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd. Participants completed an online survey measuring perceived work-related stress (organizational and operational) and PTSD validated by PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) questionnaire. The study considered different intensities of exposure to COVID and civil unrest, demographics, and worker characteristics as covariates in linear regression models, comparing stress outcomes among sworn and non-sworn personnel.
