When most of us think about 911 we think about emergencies. Calling for help with a serious accident on the road; for help with a heart attack; calling for a deputy when you come home to find your house burglarized.
But there may be other situations that you might not think are an emergency, but you want to pass information to the Sheriff's Office. SNOPAC, the agency that services the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office for 911 calls takes "complaints." This means that you can call 911 for any criminal matter whether it is an emergency or not. So if you see suspicious activity, you can call 911. Giving a timely report of suspicious can be very helpfull for the Sheriff's Office's daily operations. If you have information related to a crime that you want to pass to the Sheriff's Office you can call 911 and ask to talk to a deputy. Depending on the workload, it may take some time for the deputy to contact you.
If you have non-time sensitive information that you would like to pass you can also contact the Sheriff's Office through it's Tip Line (425) 388-3845 or it's online Tip Line http://sheriff.snoco.org/Sheriff_Services/SCSO_Tip_Line.htm.
