When to call 911

Research has shown that the public sometimes hesitates to make a call to 911. People may feel that the situation does not warrant an officer or that you will be bothering the Police Department. I wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that 911 is the number to call regardless of the incident when you want or need an Officer to respond as soon as possible.

Even if what you are experiencing or observing is not an emergency, call 911.  Let the call taker know the nature of the call, and they will prioritize it accordingly.  This is your best bet for getting an Officer either day or night. The response time until an Officer can get to you will vary depending on call volume and the nature of the call.

Remember, never be afraid to dial 911 because of uncertainty. If you think there is an emergency, or you see something of concern – call 911 immediately. That’s why the service exists—to help you.

Important Phone Numbers to Remember:

• (206)248-7600 is the main police office line and should only be called for non-emergencies such as house watch requests, records requests, etc.  It is mainly for administrative inquiries.
• (425)577-5656 – please call your alarm companies and update their records with this phone number.  This is the number they will need to call to get an Officer dispatched to your alarm.
