📞 Accidentally Dialed 911? Don’t Hang Up! 🚔

It happens more often than you think—pocket dials, kids playing with phones, or misdials in a hurry. But if you accidentally call 911, please stay on the line.
When a 911 call is made, dispatchers are required to treat it as a potential emergency. If you hang up, officers may be sent to your location to make sure everything is okay—tying up valuable resources that could be needed elsewhere.

If you call by mistake:
👉 Simply stay on the line
👉 Let the dispatcher know it was accidental
👉 Answer any quick follow-up questions

This helps us confirm that everyone is safe and prevents unnecessary emergency responses.

Your cooperation keeps our officers available for real emergencies—and helps keep our community safe. 👍

Packages ending up at the wrong house is more common than you’d think — and the fix is often surprisingly simple: your address isn’t clearly visible from the street.

Make your home easy to find by doing these three things:
✔️ Install large, easy-to-read house numbers on the front of your home
✔️ Keep your mailbox clearly labeled
✔️ Add painted curb numbers (where allowed)
These small upgrades can prevent delivery mix-ups and save you a lot of frustration.

🚨 PRO TIP: Highly visible address numbers don’t just help delivery drivers — they also help police, fire, and EMS locate your home quickly during an emergency.
Don’t wait until it matters most. Take a few minutes today to make sure your address stands out!
