Yup.. that's all we do. The other thing to do.. is call the NON-EMERGENCY number first and check with the dispatcher to make sure they aren't overloaded with 911 calls... then call in. Around here in Lycoming County, PA.. the dispatchers are more then happy to test if they are having a slow(ish) day.
