I called 911 after a group of ding dong ditchers banged as hard as they could on my front door, then on my back door. They’ve been ding dong ditching for months, but crossed the line the night it sounded like they were gonna smash through my front door. I called 911, indicating that someone had tried to break into my house, also indicating that I thought I knew who they were, and that they previously ding dong ditched at my house. The dispatcher asked if I wanted to stay on the phone while I waited for the police, and I calmly said that wasn’t necessary. The dispatcher said that the police would take a look first, then make contact with Me. I waited up all night and no police showed up. My understanding was that even if you call 911 by accident, a police officer will respond.

Was I not taken seriously by my local police?
