Texting 911

You can text 911 now! In the event that you are unable to call 911 please be aware that you can now text 911. By typing 911 in the number portion of your text and then typing your emergency in the body of the text a 911 Dispatcher will respond to your text. They can carry on a regular conversation with you just as if you had called them. Please be ready to give your emergency and your location as they will ask this of you in a text back. It is always better to call 911 when you can but this is an option that may be needed if you are in a Lockdown situation or situation where you cannot talk for safety reason.
