When should I call 911 verses the Police Department Office Number?

If there is an emergency call 9-1-1.

If you need to report a suspicious person, vehicle, or incident, call 9-1-1 without hesitation. The 9-1-1 center directly contacts the Fox Chapel Police Department and can quickly dispatch us.

9-1-1 can be dialed for non-emergency calls also. State that your call is not an emergency but that you would like to speak to a Fox Chapel Police Officer. The 9-1-1 dispatcher will relay this information to us and allow us to serve you promptly.

If you have a general question that does not relate to public safety, criminal activity, or is a matter that can wait up to 8 hours to be responded to, call our office number (412)-963-7220. Leave a detailed message on the Department's voicemail, which is checked periodically.
