It’s Time To Call The Cops

I spend a fair amount of time on the road each day; I know it’s not as much as what some of you spend, but it’s still enough. A couple years back I narrowly escaped getting hit by some fool going way to fast in a heavy rain storm. He ended up taking out 3 other cars and finally came to a rest beside a telephone pole. I wasn’t involved in anyway, but I pulled over to help those that were. Thankfully nobody was injured in the accident. But now came the problem of what to do. We all knew we needed some police officer to come out and do their thing, but it’s wasn’t an emergency. In the end, I called my wife and asked her if she could do a Google search for the contact details of the local police department.

After that, I added the number for the police department to my contacts so it can be sync’ed with my device. In fact, I added the number for the police departments in all of the places where I normally drive. I realize it may not be someone that you’re going to call very often, but it sure is handy when you need it. Today for example, I stumbled upon what appeared to be a stolen car that was stripped down and left on the side of the road (this is a back street with nothing but farmers fields and dirt). It was really simple easy for me to call that in as I continued on my way to work. Just a suggestion, but I recommend you take a couple minutes and enter the non-emergency numbers for you local police department into your phone today. You never know. ;)

  1. Don’t forget to add in the number for a good tow truck!

  2. Oh man… The day after I posted this I came across a fresh accident on the highway and needed to use the numbers again. That’s twice in 2 days. It’s been years since I added these numbers into my phone, but they sure came in handy this week.

    Good advice on the tow truck. I’ll have to do that too. :-)
