Need help, but it’s not an emergency? Call 541-693-6911
Deschutes County 9-1-1 reminds residents to use the correct non-emergency number: 541-693-6911. Some online searches -including AI tools- are providing the wrong number.
9-1-1 staff have recently noticed more calls going to office lines that are not monitored after normal business hours. That can delay a response. Please call 541-693-6911 so your call reaches a dispatcher 24/7.
Examples of non-emergencies:
- Noise complaints after hours
- Minor crashes with no injuries and no road blockage
- Theft, vandalism or graffiti discovered after the fact
- Parking issues or abandoned vehicles
- Nuisance dog reports
If a life is in danger or a crime is in progress, always call 9-1-1. For non-emergencies that need police, fire or medical help, please call 541-693-6911.
