Did You Know...
*112 Cell Phone Feature
It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.
Lauren promptly called *112 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.
Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.
The moral of this story is ... use your *112 Cell Phone feature.
*A service representative at ** Bell ** Mobility confirmed that *112 was a direct link to State trooper information. This applies in all 50 states. (Thank you Karen Gates, CWA 6016 and Beryl Jones, NALC 458 for this helpful information.) |
