Many police departments provide a dedicated nonemergency phone number for situations that do not require immediate police response. If you are unsure of the number, you can call the main police department line and ask to be transferred to the nonemergency line.
Using the correct number helps ensure that emergency services remain available for urgent calls and that nonemergency matters are handled efficiently.
**Why this matters**
Calling the nonemergency line for non-urgent issues helps reduce wait times for emergency calls and allows police to allocate resources appropriately. It also ensures that your concern is directed to the right department for faster assistance.
