Since its inception in 1985, Halton Region's 9-1-1 emergency line has received more than two million calls. On Nov. 15 of that year then Regional Chairman Peter Pomeroy and then Halton Police Chief W.I. James Harding activat- ed the system by dialing the first 911 call in the region. We will never be able to determine how many lives we have saved or crimes we have pre- vented by the 9-1-1 system, said Halton Police Chief Gary Crowell, but we do know it works and plays a vital role in keeping residents in the region of Halton safer as a result of its presence. Police remind the public about some of the daily challenges they face with regards to 9-1-1: Educate your children on the proper use and importance of 9-1-1, but also make them aware that calls to the 9-1-1 line are strictly for emergency situations or to report a crime in progress. Halton police say on average they receive three to five calls a day on 9-1-1 from children playing with the phone Police discourage people from program- ming the 9-1-1 number into the auto dial feature on their cell phone. On a daily basis the Halton 9-1-1 centre receives calls from cell phones that have been placed in pants pockets, purses or jackets which are then accidentally auto-dialed to 9-1-1 If your matter is a non-emergency, call Halton police at 905-634-1831. You can also use the new Halton online police reporting system through its website (www.haltonpolice.ca) to report lost property, theft of property valued at less than $5,000, theft from a vehicle, and dam- age or vandalism to a home or vehicle. The offence must have occurred within Halton, there must be no known suspects and it must not be a crime in progress. Twenty-five years of 9-1-1
