how can i reach the cops instead of calling 911?

Question

is there a # to call directly to the cops instead of calling 911 first? i live in san francisco by the way, thanks in advance guys

Answer 1

SFPD non-emergency:
415-553-0123

Answer 2

Usually 911 is for emergency situations such as life-threatening emergencies or crimes in progress, while there is another number for non-emergency situations like a lost dog has been found in your yard, someone stole an item from your open garage, or the neighbor is playing loud music after midnight.

Answer 3

Police departments usually have a non-emergency number. You can get it from the phone book or dial 0 and ask the operator to connect you.

911 calls go to a public service answering point, which can summon police, fire and ambulance all from one place.

Answer 4

Non-Emergency Situations
415-553-0123
The non-emergency line is for situations that require the police, but do not require an immediate police response (e.g., loud parties, a group of juveniles loitering in front of your home, noise complaints).

Answer 5

SFPD:
Emergency: dial: 911
Non Emergency: 415-553-0123

Hope that helps!
