How do I get an officer dispatched?
In an emergency, dial 9-1-1 or (916) 714-5111 from your cell phone.
View for more information about reporting emergencies.
If you are reporting an non-emergency, dial (916) 714-5115. Please be patient when you call. The dispatchers are answering calls, both emergency and non-emergency for all of Sacramento County. If you think you will get faster service by hanging up and calling 9-1-1, you are incorrect. If you do not have an emergency, the dispatcher will disconnect and you will have lost your place in line when you call back.
