This is difficult to answer, because many cities do not track the percentage of calls they receive, but anecdotal evidence says the majority of 911 calls are to either the police or the fire departments. Sadly, we hear on the news about people using 911 for other time-wasting reasons (including complaining about an order at McDonalds, in one widely reported news story); but it's safe to say most people understand 911 is supposed to be used for emergencies.
