Very few people call the police non-emergency line because few people even know it and everyone knows 911

Seems like a good idea to have a mechanism to divert the non-emergency calls off of the 911 dispatchers, then.

How do you do that without screening calls through the AI. Now anyone calm will spend an extra minute begging a computer for help whist screaming people will spend an extra 20 seconds before being bumped up .

You don't, which is why they're planning to try using AI to do it.

I honestly don't understand why you're asking. It's like there's an article about how a transportation company is investigating the use of teleporters to improve their delivery time and someone's responding with "but how will they do that without teleportation?"
