As we head into the long weekend, we’d like to recognize our dedicated call takers, dispatchers, support personnel, and all first responders who will be working while many others enjoy time with loved ones. Thank you for all that you do!
#HelpUsHelp with these safety tips:
We just had someone call in to ask for help with a technical issue on their mobile device. This is not an appropriate use of 9-1-1.
Every second we spend responding to non-urgent calls on 9-1-1 is time we could be helping someone in a life-threatening situation.
Please #HelpUsHelp keep 9-1-1 lines free for emergencies only.
This Thanksgiving long weekend, call takers, dispatchers, and first responders will be working around the clock to keep our communities safe. Let’s all do our part to keep emergency lines clear.

Back-to-school season is in full swing! As families settle into new routines, we're encouraging parents and caregivers to make 9-1-1 education a priority.

Busy night so far for our call-taking and dispatch teams - supporting @vancouverpd with #CelebOfLight. Just received an abandoned 9-1-1 call at Davie & Beach but officers quickly determined all ok. Please lock and store your devices to #HelpUsHelp.
