Do You Know Your Non-Number?
Your non-number is the number you should use to report all
non-emergency situations. Using your non-number allows your 9-1-1
center to better prioritize calls and gets help to those in life or property
threatening situations as fast as possible. Your non-emergency call may take a
little longer for dispatch to answer - please, don't hang up!
Your call is important to us and the agencies we serve!

Everyone knows to dial 9-1-1 in the case of an emergency. While most everyone
knows to dial the non-emergency number in case of a non-emergency situation,
not everyone knows that non-emergency number. That is why we designed our new
9-1-1 stickers with the non-emergency number more noticeable.
If you would like to receive "reminder" stickers that can be placed near phones
or in public areas, please fill out our sticker request form. We will send the
amount requested to the address provided.
In addition to the standard 9-1-1 sticker, we have a 9-9-1-1 sticker available
for organizations who have phone systems that require users to dial 9 to get an
outside line. If you would like to receive this type of sticker, check the
9-9-1-1 sticker type when requesting stickers.
