Shiawassee County 911
You can now text 911 in an emergency. It is always best to call if you can, but in the case where you are unable to make a voice call you can now text. Some examples may be: hearing impaired, can’t/unable to speak, domestic violence situation, or a witness to a crime in progress. This option is not as fast as making a voice call so if it is safe to call, please do so.
