I've had something stolen, but I'm not really concerned about it. Should I report it?
Yes, there are two reasons you should report the theft.
1)The Noblesville Police Department accepts countless numbers of property reported as found including bicycles, stereos and purses that have no identifying information. We would like to return them to the owners, but we cannot if we don't know who they belong to. If you report your loss, we can match our found property with your missing property. Serial numbers are the most important information that helps us do this. Please record your serial number for later use.
2) If you had something taken your neighbors may have as well. If you don't report it and your property is turned in, we cannot link it with the other thefts. If charges are filed, knowing you had things taken as well, may help us link it to the suspect.

What number should I call for non-emergency situations?
You can reach the Dispatch Center 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 317-773-1300 for assistance with non-emergency situations.
What if I accidentally call 9-1-1?
DO NOT HANG UP. Stay on the phone and explain to the 9-1-1 Dispatcher that you mistakenly dialed 9-1-1. The 9-1-1 Dispatcher may ask you some additional questions to verify your safety.
Who are the people who answer my 9-1-1 call?
Your 9-1-1 Dispatchers are ordinary people doing an extraordinary job. The Communications Department is staffed by highly-trained and dedicated civilian employees who have committed themselves to a demanding career in Public Safety Dispatching. The 9-1-1 Center is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by these selfless employees.
What happens when I call 9-1-1?
When you dial 9-1-1 in Hamilton County your call will be answered by a trained Communications Department 9-1-1 Dispatcher. You will be asked for the location of your emergency, and that location will be verified to ensure that we are sending help to the right place. You will then be asked for the phone number that you are calling from and that number will also be verified so that we can call you back in the event that the phone call gets disconnected. You will then be asked to tell the 9-1-1 Dispatcher exactly what happened.
The 9-1-1 Dispatcher is entering this information into our CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) system while they are talking to you. The 9-1-1 Dispatcher will ask additional questions so that we can get the right kind of help on the way to you.

How do you know my address and phone number when I call?
When you dial 9-1-1 from a landline phone, your call is automatically routed to your local Dispatch Center and a computer automatically shows the name, address and telephone number associated with your phone number.
Why do you ask me for my address if you already have that information?
We ask for your address or location and verify that address or location to ensure that help is being sent to the proper location. The address that we see may be incorrect, or you may be calling from a neighbor's house, etc. It only takes a few seconds to ask for and verify your location.
What information should I provide to the 9-1-1 Dispatcher?
Provide the 9-1-1 Dispatcher with your location and phone number and then provide the best answers to his or her questions as quickly as possible so that we can get help on the way.
Why do you ask so many questions when I call 9-1-1?
Questions will be asked to make sure that we are sending you the right kind of help. Simply sending you an ambulance does not ensure that a paramedic is on that ambulance. We are all trained and certified EMDs (Emergency Medical Dispatchers). When you call for a medical emergency, it is our responsibility to make sure that all the necessary help is sent. We ask a series of questions to determine what equipment or emergency personnel is needed in addition to an ambulance. Questions are also asked to ensure your safety and the safety of the emergency responders.
In addition, as EMDs we can provide you with instructions during a medical emergency to assist the patient prior to the arrival of EMS personnel.

Why can't you just take my non-emergency call on 9-1-1 when we are both on the line already?
It is highly important to use 9-1-1 only for emergency situations. When people call 9-1-1 for non-emergency situations the 9-1-1 phone line is then tied up and unavailable for people with emergency situations. The mother with the choking child may not be able to reach emergency services, because the line is busy.
What if I speak limited English or no English at all?
Callers who do not speak English or who feel more comfortable communicating in a language other than English can still access 9-1-1 services. Through a separate interpretation service, we have access to more than 100 different languages and dialects.
What if I use a TTY Machine?
Our phone equipment at Hamilton County Communications Department is fully equipped for 9-1-1 TDD/TTY calls. Members of the Hearing Impaired community can access emergency services directly by dialing 9-1-1 on their TDD/TTY.
