A way to prevent spam-calling

I am sure my fellow LEO’s can relate to this. Here’s an example. I can’t remember how many times I am responding to a call such as an MVA with an entrapment. The call says “MVA with guy inside car hes hurt come quick” I am about 40 seconds away when 2 more calls come in by the same person, saying stuff like “hurry hes bleeding out” and “come quick pleeease”. It is very annoying and prevents us from focusing on other calls, as it clogs up the phone line. There should be like a 1-minute cooldown to prevent this. Comment your ideas or support.

I agree. I think a person should be allowed one 911 call until the call gets cleared by LEO’s, then the person can call again. Trollers frequently clog up the calls with a bunch of BS, and yeah it’s very annoying.

Good idea. Maybe a longer cooldown though. The one 911 call idea isn’t the best idea, because what if there is suddenly a shooting across the street or something. /shrug.

Other people can call.

Yeah, but what if there is no other people around except for the shooters.
