Kent County Sheriff's Office recently issued the following announcement.
With the winter storm expected over the next day or two, here are some ways you can help our dispatch center out:
1) If you call 911, know your location. As one of our seasoned dispatch staff has said, “Wherever you are, know WHERE you are.”
2) If you or someone else do not need emergency help and there is no immediate threat to life and property, call KCSO’s non-emergency line: 616-336-3113.
3) Police & Fire will be dispatched to check several slide-offs and vehicles stuck in snow off of the road. If the vehicle is unoccupied and not a hazard, we will put a ribbon of yellow police tape on the mirror or antenna. This indicates to other responders or the public this vehicle has already been checked.
