(Community Matters 35) Spike in Accidental 911 Calls Thought to be Caused by Android Phone Issue

CCCDA graphic

First Aired June 10, 2023

In recent days, Calhoun County Consolidated Dispatch Authority alerted the community to an uptick in accidental calls to 911 emergency response – somehow thought to be related to the relative ease the calls can be made from smart phones.

CCCDA Executive Director Michael Armitage tells Community Matters a national 911 group now believes the problem has to do with Android phones – and the problem should be corrected with an Android operating system update in June.

Click to hear all the details – and what you should do if you accidentally dial 911 (hang up is not the answer!).
