Failure of MoCo's 911 System

Yesterday, August 2, 2016, the MoCo Council held a hearing on why the MoCo 911 emergency phone system failed for 2 hours on July 9. The briefing was a little difficult to understand but it sounded as if the problem was caused by a cooling system that had a leak.

Council Members said this was unacceptable and could never happen again.

In case the 911 system ever goes down again, everyone should have the following numbers to call directly to MoCo police stations:
Non-emergency: 301-279+8000
District 1D - 240-773-6070
District 2D - 240-773-6700
District 3D - 240-773-6800
District 4D - 240-773-5500
District 5D - 240-773-6200
District 6D - 240-773-5700
