Not sure how to search for this...

When you call 911 because you need the police to show up, do you need to give your address, or do they have a way of getting your address?

Not in trouble, just need info for a fic :)

How 911 works:

From personal experience, 911 operators can see the address of the phone when it's a land line. The one time I called 911 on a cell, I had to tell them where I was.

You guys are fast :D

And yeah, it was going to be from a cell.

Thanks!

That was about five years ago. I don't know if "where you are" technology has improved since then.
