Departments | Sheriff | Contact Us
Call 911 when there is a life or death emergency that requires the immediate response of emergency services such as police, fire or ambulance.
Always call 911 when there is a medical problem, traffic accident or something that requires the fire department to respond.
When there is a situation that requires police response but is not an emergency, use our non-emergency telephone numbers: (641)421-3000 or 1-877-671-0052.
All 911 calls are received by our dispatch center by communication officers trained to screen calls quickly and efficiently.
Emergency operators will verify your address and telephone number to ensure they are accurate. People living in mobile home parks, condominiums, apartments or private roads should give specific directions to the location to ensure efficient and timely response.
It is a misdemeanor under Iowa code section 718.6 for any person to willfully use the 911 system for any purpose other than reporting an emergency. It is a felony if someone is injured or dies as a result of a emergency services response to a false call.
Non-emergency lines are for crimes in progress or other situations that require police response, but are not life threatening (ie., loud parties, loitering, neighbor disputes, etc.) Non-emergency numbers, hotlines and related links are listed below:
