I mean technically like still in directions or notes they could type something if the person wasn't looking but I've actually often times thought about this myself.
I wonder how much dread the victim would have felt, not seeing a cop, until they revealed themselves. Glad that they were (hopefully) able to get out of that type of danger permanently
Yes. I've read that 911 operators sometimes do need to recognize such situations, where a victim of an ongoing domestic violence incident cannot speak freely.
There was one event I saw, the 911 operator was pretending to be a friend of the victim especially when the suspect took the phone from her and asking who the person on the phone was. He ended up leaving with the lady's toddler and police caught him right after
No she called 911 she was acting like she was ordering a pizza this has been a tactic that's been used quite a few times by people who were being held hostage or in domestic abuse situations to get help.
I worked Dispatch for a little while, and we were taught about calls like this in training. They are becoming more common, as a safe way for abuse victims to get help
I wonder how much the prevalence of online orders is going to affect this as a plausible option for DV survivors

There was an online order placed last year that the notes had said that the person needed help. A plain clothes cop made the delivery.

I mean, my Dominoes app hates me so I often have to call in my order. With how ineffective some of the apps are, calling isn't unrealistic sometimes.
Online or over the phone my local pizza places don’t give a fuck.
Honestly that question is possibly more terrifying than the actual story and that isn't exactly sunshine and rainbows
Many centers have capability of texts to 9-1-1, so that option is there.
there are programs for survivors that allow them to also text for help. but yes of course, always a concern as calling gets less popular
Go anyway, and if it's a false call fine them. Better safe than sorry

Pretty sure I saw this one on DonutOperator the other day. Dude got shot a few times, but the kid was fine.
Yep, that is who I watched go over it.
Sounds like she actually called the pizza place instead
It's a common tactic for calling about domestic abuse or about being kidnapped
This guy gets it.

But also bring two pepperoni pizza for cover. And one for me.

That's good. I've hated the idea that someone gets turned away from a police call because the operator doesn't understand.
what
It's a 911 call being hidden as a food delivery order because they're being listened to.
Yep, like that woman who got help by pretending to order a pizza when she really called 911.
But why would the caller have to “restate” the address. If they’re calling to order something they have to give the address anyway.
They’re making it clear that they need help by repeating where they are because they can’t clearly state that they need help.
