The number for emergencies is, and always will be 911. For non-emergency instances such as a suspicious person, you can call 821-2222. Calls to both 911 and 821-2222 are recorded and also dispatrched through a main operator. The dispatcher will dispatch these calls to all officers in that district which includes MCSD officers. In addition, all calls made to these numbers are recorded as "calls for service." The number of calls for service recorded in a given district greatly impacts the amount of police resources that district receives. There is a MCSD cell phone located in each MCSD patrolling vehicle. Those numbers are 252-1571 and 252-1570. You may call either number to reach a MCSD patrolling officer. PLEASE NOTE: Calls to the MCSD cell phones are not recorded nor are they immediately dispatched through a dispatcher who can put the call out to all the officers available in that district. Furthermore if an officer is in the middle of handling an incident, they will not pick up the phone. You can try the alternate cell phone and/or leave a message. An officer will get back to you after the incident they are working on is taken care of. If you would like to call the MCSD for an escort home late at night, or to report loud music, that is fine. For all other issues, your first call should either be 911 or 821-2222. |
