911 Call Center Bombarded By 'Nuisance' Calls
Officials Call For Non-Emergency Call Center
HYATTSVILLE, MD -- Public safety officials in Prince George's County, MD say 911 operators are being bombarded with "nuisance" calls. Officials said people are calling 911 to ask for everything from help with their computers to the phone number for their favorite pizza parlor. The center receives about 4,000 calls per day, and while officials say most are legitimate, four in 10 are not and those frivolous calls are overloading the system and frustrating officials.
