Phillip Stelly Is 16-Year Veteran In early bepiemoer int Bunkie Police Department and the district office of South Central Bell began working on the 911 emergency telephone system for Bunkie. In order to do this the telephone system had to change all the numbers from the 7100 series to a new 6800 series. Now when any old 7100 series number is dialed the "Hotline" in the city police station rings. Bunkie Chief of Police Leon Franklin stated that they are getting about 100 calls a day on the 911 line and that during the first week the line was put into use the station was receiving about 200 calls a day. Lamar Waters, district manager for the Bunkie area of South Central Bell said that an employee from the phone company had been sent to the police station to handle the calls and explain the 7100 number had been changed.

The area manager went on to say that "We are doing all we can. There is nothing we can do technically. It's not a matter of just turning a screwdriver." Change Made The change that was made in September affects some 85 customers on the South Central Line. Waters went on to say that when the change was made a "strap" was applied and when a 7100 number was dialed the caller was automatically given an intercept operator and informed of the change. The "strap was taken off on Dec.

2 and this gave the company one and one-half months for the customers to get use to it. The phone company opened the 911 number as soon as the new directories were issued. Just Calling Waters added that many people are calling and hanging up, possibly just to test the new number. Waters stated that when the number was installed in Alexandria the sheriff's office received a great deal of prank calls, this may be the case, but we can't tell. Zerangue.
