MONROE - The 9-1-1 system is for emergencies, Green County Sheriff Randy Roderick said.

Roderick said people shouldn't call 9-1-1 for routine things, but should call it when they need an emergency response.

Roderick said people have called 9-1-1 when they've missed their turn on the road and need to find out how to get back to where they needed to turn; they've called because they're lost and need directions; or they've called to find out about weather or road conditions.
