A Public Safety Message from the Boulder County Sheriff's Communications Center
Help Keep 911 Lines Open! Every day more than 75 to 100 911 calls are received by the Boulder County Sheriff's Communications Dispatch Center from accidentally activated cell phones. On your belt or in your purse, the keypad on your cell phone can be pressed and cause another unintended call to 911. Cell phones with a single key programmed to dial 911 can be unintentionally activated. Lock the keypad on your cell phone and prevent this disruption of the life saving 911 service. Help keep the 911 lines open for real emergencies!
