In an Emergency - Call 9-1-1

In an emergency seconds count! When police, fire or medical emergencies occur, call 9-1-1. Trained emergency call takers will provide you with the information and assistance you need.

An emergency is any serious medical problem, any type of fire, any life-threatening situation or a crime in progress.

If you call 9-1-1 in error, do not hang up, stay on the line and explain to the dispatcher that you do not have an emergency. If you hang up, the dispatcher will call back to confirm that there is no emergency. If you don't answer, a police officer will be dispatched to check on your wellbeing.
