UPDATE: Seattle Police say non-emergency line is OK again

6:52 PM: We hope you won’t need this info, but in case you do, just tweeted by Seattle Police: “We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with the nonemergency line. Please call 206-583-2111 or 911 if you need assistance.”

11:18 PM: As of about an hour ago, the problem is fixed, SPD tweeted, so you can use the non-emergency line again – 206-625-5011 – if you need to. But if something is happening NOW, police always urge, call 911.

Fox, the last one :) whenever I’ve called it, I’ve gotten the higher than expected recording. I have an email from an SPD call center supervisor from 4 months ago saying they have hired more people but I still get the recording as of a few days ago. When I followed up with the sup, he didn’t reply. I’ve heard new software as a recent excuse. Makes one wonder.
