            A 9-1-1 Hang Up call is defined as one where the 9-1-1 phone rings, ANI and/or ALI information may be presented, but the caller does not speak.  ANI (callers telephone number) is normally transmitted to the PSAP prior to the call answering.  9-1-1 Hang Up calls may be prank or may be a person in distress who can not speak.  The following procedure shall be followed:

 

1.                  Note the ANI/ALI information.
