The disruption affected only non-emergency contact numbers, with emergency 911 service unaffected throughout.

The interruption affected the non-emergency contact numbers used to reach police and other public safety services for routine matters, rather than urgent situations.
Emergency 911 service continued to operate normally during the outage, meaning residents with urgent public safety needs were not affected.
Officials confirmed the non-emergency lines are now back in service, restoring normal operations at the communications centre.
