Escalon, Manteca And Ripon Police Departments Hit With 911-Line Problems
MANTECA (CBS13) – A couple of Central Valley law enforcement agencies were having trouble with their phone lines on Wednesday morning.
The Manteca Police Department says their non-emergency lines went down and their 911 lines were having minor problems with incoming calls.
The Ripon and Escalon police departments also said they were experiencing a 911 outage.
Both departments were forwarding their 911 calls to the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office due to the issues.
Exactly what caused the phone problems is unclear. Ripon police say damaged infrastructure outside the city is to blame, while Manteca police say their telecommunications provider has been trying to fix the issue since Tuesday night.
The problems were resolved by early Wednesday afternoon.
