NEW COMMON NON-EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBER FOR WASHTENAW METRO DISPATCH

Washtenaw Metro Dispatch has implemented a common telephone number for non-emergency calls effective immediately. The number is (734) 994-2911. This number should be used by the public and public safety organizations alike to contact Washtenaw Metro Dispatch for non-emergency business. Please update your telephone directories, speed dials, websites, emergency plans, etc. with this number. The other phone numbers that you may be using will be eliminated in the near future.

(734) 994-2911 will be answered by professional call takers, second only to 9-1-1 emergency calls. This change will improve call management and enhance the service we provide to both citizens and public safety personnel.

Please contact 9-1-1 Coordinator David Halteman at (734) 973-4548 if you have any questions.
