ONEIDA COUNTY: VERIZON CUSTOMERS UNABLE TO CALL 911 OR DISPATCH


   

The Oneida County Sheriff’s Office wants to notify the public that the Oneida County Dispatch Center is not able to receive 911 or non-emergency calls from customers who use Verizon.

According to the sheriff's office, Verizon is working to resolve the issue, and if you need to call 911 or the non-emergency dispatch center line, which is 715-361-5201, you will need to use a landline phone or an alternate wireless network provider.

The sheriff's office will let the public know when the service is restored for Verizon customers.
