'Butt Dials' Straining 911 Emergency Systems
By Brandon Griggs, CNN
(CNN)The emer- gency dispatchers who handle calls to 911 must grapple with urgent situa- tions, frantic callers and garbled mes- sages.
As if that's not enough, now they're facing another challenge: butt dialing.
Accidental calls make up a signifi- cant percentage of 911 calls in San Francisco, accord- ing to new research by Google that seeks to explain a huge increase in emergency calls in that city. Such calls, typi- cally made when smart- phones are in pockets or purses, are placing a strain on already-taxed dispatchers who cannot communicate with the callers and must try to call them back, the report says.
Google researchers shadowed 911 dispatch- ers in San Francisco and found that 30% of the wireless calls they received during a partic- ular window of time were accidental. This is a time-consuming hassle for dispatchers, who hear an open line and don't know whether the call is a mistake or a legitimate plea for help.
In the vast majority of such cases, the dis- patcher had to call back the number to leave a voice mail, which wasted an average of one minute and 14 seconds per call, Google found.
More than one-third of dispatchers surveyed by
Google said that such callbacks were the largest "pain point" of their workday.
The research follows a memo last year from FCC Commissioner Michael O'Rielly, who suggested that 50% of 911 calls were the result of pocket or butt dialing.
"Dedicated and hard- working public safety offi- cials who answer and respond to Americans in times of need are being inundated by accidental wireless calls to 911," O'Rielly wrote.
"If my anecdotal experi- ences are remotely accurate, it would mean that approximately 84 million 911 calls a year are pocket dials," he added. "This is a huge waste of resources ... and increases the risk that legitimate 911 calls - - and first responders -- will be delayed."
All mobile phones are required to have the abil- ity to make an emer- gency call without their screens being unlocked, which facilitates acciden-
tal 911 calls.
One possible solution would be for wireless providers to text a cus- tomer whenever 911 is dialed by their active wireless device, O'Rielly said.
"If consumers are alerted to the simple fact that they have dialed 911 accidentally, they may take precautions to pre- vent it from happening again," he said.
But as more and more Americans carry smart- phones with them every- where, this problem may be getting worse. Dispatchers at the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management received more than 1.2 million calls in 2014, a 28% increase over 2011. Google's research sug- gests that butt dialing may be partly to blame.
So think about using a passcode screen lock or a call-confirm app the next time you stuff your phone in the pocket of your jeans. Your local 911 dispatcher will thank you.
