🚨 WE ARE LIVE: TEXT-TO-911 NOW AVAILABLE IN SCOTT COUNTY 🚨

Scott County residents can now text 911 in an emergency. This service is available through the Sikeston Department of Public Safety Communications Center and Scott City E911, providing coverage for the entire county.

📱 When should you text 911?
Text-to-911 is a critical option when:
• You are unable to safely speak
• You are in a situation where calling could put you in danger
• You are hearing/speech impaired
• You need to be discreet

📞 If you can call, always call.
Voice calls remain the fastest and most effective way to reach 911.

💬 How to text 911:
• Enter 911 in the “To” field
• Send a short message with your location and emergency
• Answer questions from the dispatcher promptly

⚠️ Important Tips:
• Do not include photos, videos, emojis, or group texts
• Keep messages clear and concise
• Stay with your phone and continue the conversation

This is a major step forward in improving emergency communications and accessibility across Scott County. We are proud to provide another way to reach help when it matters most.

❤️ Help is just a text away. We’re here for you.
