When you dial, 911, your emergency calls to 911 may be going to the wrong county. Becaue most residents having a Michigan City phone numbers, our emergency calls are going to Laporte County and must be forwarded to Porter County 911. In an extreme emergency this can waste valuable time.
To correct this problem:
* Call your phone service provider (AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, etc.) and ask them if your emergency calls are going to the right county (Porter is our county), if the service provider tells you they are going to LaPort County, have them correct the problem
*OR call the Town phone at 219-874-2853 after June 18th and leave a message with your name, address, and phone number
*OR email your information to townofpines@comcast.net. We will compile a list and forward it to Porter County 911 and they will make the change for us.
DON’T WAIT FOR AN EMERGENCY TO FIND OUT YOUR 911 CALLS ARE GOING TO THE WRONG COUNTY.
