[0:00] Do you know when to call 311 and when to call 911?
We asked folks about a few different scenarios.

off fireworks late at night for days. Who should
[0:11] you call? 311. 911. 311. What if it's kids
setting them off? 311. 911. 911. You return
[0:22] home from vacation to find that someone broke
into your garage and stole several tools and
[0:26] a lawnmower. Who should you call? Probably 311
if the person isn't there right away. 911. 911.
[0:35] You parked your car in front of your home and
now it's missing. Who should you call? That's
[0:39] probably a 911. I don't know, maybe a 311 though.
Police I guess. 911. And last night you witnessed
[0:48] a stranger walking down the street and looking
into cars and house windows. Who should you call?
[0:53] 311. Maybe 911. 311. What if you saw it happen 5
minutes ago? I would call 911 then. I don't know
[1:02] actually. 911. You find a purse on your lawn you
suspect it's stolen. Who should you call? 311. I

[1:16] the window of your SUV and took your CD player.

[1:22] right? Yeah, 311. What if they also took your
handgun from the glove compartment? 911. 911. 911.
