On Saturday, Bloomington police told residents to dial 911 for just about everything after the city’s non-emergency phone lines went down, according to a social media update from the department. Officers directed people to use 911 for assistance until further notice and apologized for the inconvenience. The update did not say when the regular non-emergency lines would be back.
The advisory went out on the Bloomington Police Department’s Facebook page, where officials repeated the instruction to call 911 until further notice and again apologized for the disruption. You can see the department’s full message in its Facebook post, and check the City of Bloomington police page for the department’s usual non-emergency contact details once service is restored.
