Tagged: Charlotte, North CarolinaPosted on: December 8th, 2006“Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s 911 Center is dealing with an influx of calls from Hispanics, many who do not speak English and have never used the 911 system before.
So far this year, the department has received close to 8,000 Spanish speaking calls. Norman Smith, communication’s supervisor, says the number of Spanish speaking callers is up 300 percent over the last five years.”
