Who Prank Calls 911?!?


Thought prank phone calls were a thing of the past? An elementary school phase? Even in those younger days I knew there was nothing funny about prank-calling the cops, but perhaps some CSULB college students are sniffing too much glue.

Two prank 911 calls have occurred within the last couple of weeks. The activity log reports some students were caught on surveillance cameras.

This is a misdemeanor offense, and according to Lt. Scot Willey the police department will investigate and arrest confirmed offenders.

"We respond to all 911 calls, and the emergent nature increases when there is no answer on the caller's end," Willey stressed. "Calling 911 on a university campus is no different than calling 911 anywhere else. In fact, our police dispatchers are the 911 operators for not only our campus, but the surrounding areas as well."

If you do have an emergency don't hesitate to use any of the emergency telephones. Please see this link for Emergency Telephone Locations.
