--- 911:: Abuse of the 911 system

Date: Mon, August 07, 2006 7:36 am

To: 911console

I've tried searching the archives to find the answer to my own

question, but I'm not having much luck.

For you Michigan dispatchers...any idea what the name of the law is

that is used to prosecute people for abuse of the 911 system?

For the last two days this woman has been calling almost non-stop

because her son stole her music CD. She's been threatening me (mostly

because I'm in the first phone answering position right now) with

lawsuits because I told her to quit calling unless it was a life

threatening emergency. She's made false accusations against the police

officer that went to help her...that he pushed her off the

porch..anyway, I digress.

I've given her fair warning, and if she continues, I'm going to pursue

charges against her. When she accounts for 50% of our call volume

between 4am and 8 am, it's ridiculous.

Here in Iowa we have a Harassment of a Public official charge. If your state

has this (type) law it may apply. Ours is a simple misdemeanor, IIRC.
