911- Communications Problems Final Update

On Thursday June 9, some callers had trouble contacting the SNOPAC 911 service. Frontier Communications was able to fix the problem after a few hours.

While Fox Communications was fixing the problem an alternate phone number for SNOPAC, which services the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office, was distributed via Twitter by Everett PD and various local press agencies. The number was (425) 407-3970.

Note: Communications problems with 911 are a rarity in our county. For most of us, for most of the time, remembering 911 when we need it is sufficient. However, it might be a good idea to save the alternate number in your address book just in case you have trouble getting through to the local SNOPAC 911 in an emergency.
