Some phone problems are being reported with Oakland County’s 911 Emergency Service.

The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office says it was notified today by AT&T of an issue affecting telephone service that may impact a caller’s ability to reach 911 emergency service.

Callers can reach the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office first by calling 911. If the call does not go through, text 9–1-1. If neither the call or text is completed, the Sheriff’s Office non-emergency line can be reached at 248-858-4911.

The Office says use of a non-AT&T phone is an option until the issues are resolved.

Updates will be posted on the Sheriff's Office Facebook page. That link is provided.
