    Promoting that the nunber exists as a actual thing people should use is good, yeah. :)

    The actual number isn’t so important, though. If ever needed to call the non-emergency number I’d search it up, which fortunately I can do given I’ve got loads of time because it’s not an emergency.

      I would bet there are large swaths of people that don’t know there is a nonemergency number to look up.

        And in some locations (e.g. Atlanta, last time I checked), there is no non-emergency number–you call 911 regardless and the dispatcher directs the call.
