Smithfield Police

Your 911 call will be routed to the nearest tower from the point where you make the call. Wherever you are, your call will go to the nearest 911 dispatcher. On rare occasions, a 911 dispatcher may have to forward you to another police department, depending on what jurisdiction you happen to be in at the time, but these transfers are done rapidly in emergency situations. In any situation, a dispatcher will ask you your current location and will make appropriate decisions accordingly.

Tell the person that you do not want them to contact you any more. It is illegal to make harassing phone calls. Advising the unwanted caller that you will seek a warrant for their arrest if they continue to call will usually stop them from calling. However, if the calls continue, document when the calls came in and who is calling. Making harassing phone calls is a misdemeanor crime, so you will need to go to the nearest magistrate with that list of times and dates to seek a warrant for the arrest of the individual who is harassing you. It is helpful to get a copy of incoming calls from your telephone company if a warrant is obtained, to use as evidence in court. If voicemails are left by the unwanted caller, document those as well for additional evidence.
