When
should I call 911?
You should call 911 for emergencies only. An emergency is when
IMMEDIATE Police, Fire, or AMBULANCE assistance is necessary.
When you call 911 be prepared to answer the following questions:
- location of your emergency
- type of emergency
- your name
- your phone number
Stay calm and be prepared to answer a list of questions concerning your emergency.
What
should I do if I am involved in a motor vehicle crash?
If you are involved in a minor accident, no one is injured and
the vehicles are drivable, move your vehicle to the untraveled
portion of the roadway if possible. Cars left in the roadway contribute
to traffic hazards. Call 911 and DO NOT leave until you have spoken
to a police officer.
How
do I check the status of my case?
If you want information on your case you can contact the officer
who initially took your report. If it is a case that requires considerable
resources, it will be reassigned to the investigative division
and an investigator will contact you.
Under normal circumstances, the officer or investigator will notify you or any important developments in your case. We encourage you to maintain contact with the police department and call if you have any questions regarding your case.
What
do I do if I see a rabid or suspected rabid animal?
If you see an animal that appears to be rabid call 362-8661 and
report the location of the animal. DO NOT TRY TO CAPTURE THE ANIMAL.
Animals with rabies will show behavioral changes, they can be excited,
aggressive, depressed or lethargic. They may be uncoordinated and
unfocused on the activity or presence of humans around them.
Some animals that carry rabies are raccoons, foxes, and bats. These animals, which normally avoid humans, are nocturnal and it is unusual for them to be out in daylight hours.
If you are bitten by a domestic animal, North Carolina state law requires that it be reported to the police department.
What
do I do if I find or see a stray animal?
If you locate a stray animal, call Wake County Animal Control at
919-250-1475.
Where
do I go to have a child restraint system (car seat) installed?
