When to Call 9-1-1
Call 9-1-1 whenever you require a response from police, fire or ambulance. This is true for all responses, even non-emergencies.
The dispatch facility for Plymouth is the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department. If you call the Plymouth Police Department, you will be asked to hang up and dial 9-1-1. Because of recent improvements in technology you may not hear any ringing, clicking or other sounds to indicate that your 9-1-1 call has been completed. Please be patient through the period of silence and the dispatcher will answer your call.
