Media's 911 Call System - Call even if it's not an emergency

One of the things that came out of last week's borough council meeting was the encouragement of residents to use the 911 call service for all Police related issues.  That includes everything you would normally call the Media Police about.  

I've always had the mindset that 911 should only be used for a REAL emergency and not for something such as a dog barking late at night.  Well, this is no longer the case as the police dept. relies on these calls to the 911 center  in order to accurately track problems in the borough.
