Law enforcement agencies in Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota and Texas reported temporary outages to 911 services. The reports came Wednesday night and most agencies said within hours that services had been restored. It was not immediately clear what caused the outages or whether they were related.
Law enforcement agencies in Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota and Texas reported temporary outages to 911 services before saying hours later that services had been restored. It was not immediately clear what caused the outages or whether they were related.The South Dakota Department of Public Safety said in statement posted on social media Wednesday night that it was aware of a 911 service interruption throughout the state.
The same evening, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department 911 Communications warned of an outage affecting 911 and non-emergency calls in a social media post. Calls from landlines were not working, but officials said they could see the numbers of those who called from cellphones. “Dial on a mobile device, and we will be able to see your number and will call you back right away,” the department posted.Las Vegas lawyer and wife killed amid custody fight for children from prior marriage, family saysAbout two hours later, the department posted that service was restored, and everyone who called during the outage had been called back and provided assistance.
In Nebraska, the sheriff’s offices in several counties, including Dundy, Kearney, and Howard, warned Wednesday night that 911 services were down, but advised a few hours later that services had been restored. The police department in Del Rio, Texas, a city of 35,000 residents along the U.S.-Mexico border, posted that “an outage with a major cellular carrier” was to blame. It didn’t say which carrier. Del Rio had the opposite problem of Las Vegas — 911 calls from cellphones didn’t work, so those needing help were urged to use a landline or another cell carrier.
