Should I Dial 911?

Always dial 911 to:

  • report an situation that requires police at the scene (accidents, burglaries, assaults, etc)
  • report a fire
  • call for a paramedic or ambulance
  • report suspicious activity (shouts for help, sounds of breaking glass, alarms, shots fired, unfamiliar person carrying items from a house, etc)
  • report a sewer back-up, water main break, or other Public Works emergency that requires immediate attention

If you're not sure what to do in a situation, call 911 and the dispatcher will help.

If you have a situation after hours or on weekends but do not need immediate response from a paramedic, firefighter, police officer, or Public Works crew, call the Police Department's non-emergency number, 763-593-8079.
