Ontario’s 9-1-1 system had an outage on Sept. 17, beginning at approximately 4 a.m., according to Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
The OPP circulated a press release several hours later at 11 a.m. sharing that the 9-1-1 system had largely stabilized and all OPP Provincial Communications Centres across the province are once again receiving and processing 9-1-1 calls.
During the outage, members of the public requiring emergency police response were directed to call the OPP non-emergency line at 1-888-310-1122, which remains fully operational.
Throughout the temporary outage, the OPP continued to respond to calls for service.
The OPP thanks the phone network providers for expediting the restoration of the 9-1-1 service.
