FGO-MHD Alternatives to Calling the Cops
It is important to note that some of these resources may be required to call the police depending upon the situation, especially in cases of immediate risk of harm to an individual, child abuse, or abuse of a vulnerable adult. This list is non-exhaustive and is not meant to cover all situations.
If you are in danger of immediate harm and feel safe doing so, please call 911. For medical emergencies, ask for an ambulance and give accurate symptoms. You do not need to go into specific detail regarding the circumstances. Be completely honest with EMS once they arrive, especially in situations regarding drugs or alcohol. Be aware Fire/EMT crews may arrive before an ambulance.
