You understand that 911 is a central dispatcher, not to the police specifically, right? That they default more to the police is a completely different issue. And I much prefer only having to worry about remembering 911. In Norway I'm supposed to remember to call 112 for the police, 110 if there's a fire, and 113 if I need an ambulance or am having a medical emergency. | ||

Oh great, because in Germany it's exactly the other way around. 110 is police, 112 is firefighters and ambulance. | ||

Sure. But if you dial 110 by mistake and meant to dial 112, they will either help you regardless (many emergency dispatchers are colocated) or simply transfer you to where you meant to call. | ||
