    Temporary Technical Issues with 911 Service

    The Owen Sound Police Service would like to notify the public that the 911 system is currently experiencing technical difficulties.

    Bell 911 continues to work on the routing issues specific only to 911.   If there is a need to call 911, calls will continue to be processed within the Owen Sound Emergency Communication Centre (OSECC) and through partner agencies in order to ensure no one call goes unserved.  This disruption impacts a larger area than OSECC and Bell Canada continues to work on the routing issues.
