>Yes, every township/locality will have a switchboard. In larger cities it could be zone based.

That much is obvious. A single switchboard can also cover multiple towns in some circumstances.

>In larger cities it could be zone based. But "911" always has a second # that can directly connect you, ending in 911.

I'll take your word for it since I'm obviously not going to check... I just checked my local PD and I can't find any mention of this whatsoever on their website.

It doesn’t always end in 911, that can also fwd to a #.

You can always call the police dept. their # will be on their site
