Pima County Sheriff’s Department reports 911 Outage, directs calls to 520-351-4900

Pima County’s 911 outage is affecting the county’s Communications Center, and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department is directing emergency calls to its non-emergency line instead. People who need emergency response should call 351-4900 while the statewide 911 network outage continues.

Pima County Sheriff’s Department

The department said, “The Pima County Sheriff’s Department says the 911 Communications Center is currently being affected by a statewide 911 network outage.” That leaves the county with a different contact point for emergency response until the system is restored.

At the time of the alert, the department said people should use the non-emergency phone number, 351-4900, for emergency response. The line gives callers a working route to get help while 911 is unavailable in Pima County.

Statewide 911 network outage

The outage is not limited to one local office. It is part of a statewide 911 network outage affecting Pima County, which means the county’s emergency communications center is operating under a broader system problem rather than an isolated local issue.

The department said an update will be provided when the 911 system returns to normal operation. For now, callers in Pima County should use the non-emergency number if they need emergency response during the outage.
