I am referring to an "emergency" number directly to local dispatch, something other than 911.

Good point about having the non-emergency number also...

Your phone book should have all the numbers listed somewhere, an emergency number (not 911), a non-emergency number, and 911 (if available).

My local bell book, first page (opposite inside cover):
Huge red 911
Listing for each cities non-emergency numbers for Fire and for PD, and one set for the county.
In the "government" section, there is a listing for Fire, and for PD, showing 911 with a second line showing the non-911 (but still) emergency number.

It is confusing, something that needs to be addressed a little more clearly by the cell phone companies.
