If you need to talk to police or fire officials about these sort of things, use either of the 7 digit non-emergency numbers listed below.

(260)356-7110
When calling 911 from a Cell Phone
Cellular telephones provide a unique challenge for 911 dispatchers. The dispatcher can see only your cell phone number, not your location. Remember that when you call 911 from a cell phone, you may be talking to a dispatcher in another community that may not be familiar with the area you are calling from. Here are some things to remember
- Try to always know what road you are on
- Look for landmarks that may help the dispatcher
- Know the closest town or major highway to where you are
- Stay on the line until the dispatcher knows your location
When in doubt -- Call 911
