Disorderly Conduct

Location: 900 Block of Kiely Boulevard

Public Safety Dispatchers received repeated calls from a male subject on the 900 block of Kiely Boulevard. The subject was not experiencing a medical emergency and was not in danger. The caller was cursing, aggressive and abusive. He did not respond to dispatcher inquiries or requests to stop abusing emergency services.

An officer was dispatched to the subject’s residence to evaluate the situation and ask the subject to stop abusing 9-1-1 services.

Time: 0015

Case Number: 19-0205003

 

NOTE:  9-1-1 is for police, fire, or medical emergencies when immediate action is required because someone’s health, safety or property is in jeopardy or a crime is in progress.

Chronic abuse of 9-1-1 is a burden to public safety trying to triage real emergencies and puts police officers at risk.

Examples of When to Call 9-1-1
Available 24/7, 365

  • An event that involves an immediate threat to a person or property (e.g. screams, attacks, gunshots, fire, car accident with injuries or any other medical emergency)
  • A substantive, in-progress crime. This includes fights, break and enters (if there is a suspect on scene) or a report of an impaired driver
  • A serious crime that has just occurred (e.g. sexual assault, robbery)
  • A suspicious circumstance that may indicate an imminent criminal act (e.g. prowler, vandal)
  • Text-to-9-1-1 is available in the City of Santa Clara to callers in an unsafe situation (e.g. home intruder, domestic violence), are deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech issue

If you call 9-1-1 for a non-emergency matter, it will not result in a faster response. Emergency situations are always given priority over situations where response is not urgent or time sensitive.

Examples of When to Call the Non-Emergency phone line, 408-615-5580
Available 24/7, 365

  • Reporting a crime with no suspect (e.g. theft of a license plate)
  • Reporting a crime with suspect, but suspect is not on the scene (e.g. fraud)
  • Reporting a serious crime with suspect, but with a lengthy delay (e.g. assault that occurred last night at a bar)
  • Non-emergency in-progress (e.g. noisy party, drug use)
  • On-going crime issues or crimes that are not in-progress (e.g. graffiti or on-going drug dealing with no suspect on scene)
  • A suspicious circumstance that may indicate an on-going criminal activity (e.g. subject looking in car windows/pulling on car doors)

Examples of When to Call the Police Department’s General Business line, 408-615-4700

Open Monday-Friday, 8am-6pm; Saturday, 9am-3pm; Closed Sunday

  • Obtain a copy of a police report

  • Have a ticket signed off (e.g. expired registration, no driver’s license, fix-it)
  • Public Records Act request
  • Parking complaints 

It is a misdemeanor in California for any person to willfully use the 911 system for any purpose other than reporting an emergency. It is a felony if someone is injured or dies because of emergency service response to a false call.
