Show Notes
Springboro police in Ohio issue a warning about old cell phones posing a risk to emergency services. Accidental dials to 911, often triggered by children playing with disconnected phones, force dispatchers to treat each call as a real emergency. This leads to resource-draining searches and potential delays in responding to genuine crises. Police advise parents to keep old devices out of reach or remove the battery, and teach children that 911 is only for serious help.
