New Phone Number For Non-Emergency Police Calls!

Even though the police have wanted us to, many people are reluctant to call 911 for non-emergency police issues. It might be a loud party or a barking dog and rather than call 911, people don’t call at all.

Well, a new non-emergency police number for residents to call with “quality-of-life complaints" has been created for Suffolk Country residents, 852-COPS (852-2677.) The new service became effective on June 1, 2006 and will free up 911 operators for true emergencies, while providing citizens with an avenue for calling the police about non-life-threatening situations. From now on, 911 should only be used for true emergencies.

Remember…
