SLT Police non-emergency line not working

The primary published non-emergency business phone number for the South Lake Tahoe Police Department (530-542-6100) is currently inoperable. SLTPD is working with their local phone service and outside vendors to correct what appears to be a hardware malfunction at the police department.

Currently, when this number is dialed, the caller will likely hear an indication of a phone ringing on the other end, but this signal is not connecting to any telephone in the police department.

"We want to make our public aware of the situation and to recommend that, until this issue is resolved, please use the alternative phone number of 530-542-6101," said SLTPD Lt. Brian Williams. "We hope to have the matter resolved soon, but we currently have no estimated time of completion."

The 911 phone lines into the police dispatch center remain fully functional, and have not been affected by this business line issue.
