911 UPDATE !
Wednesday, September 4, 2019 at approximately 12:42am, the Beaumont 911 Operations Center was contacted by the director of the 911 Emergency Network for Southeast Texas Regional Planning Commission and advised there was an interruption with the 911 system affecting Hardin, Jefferson and Orange counties. The three agencies that monitor 911 systems, National Public Safety Solutions, AT&T and Intrado, caught the problem and immediately notified the SETRPC 911 Director. BPD’s 911 Operation Center has been working with the SETRPC 911 Director and AT&T to fix the problem. The 911 system is not down, but is impaired due to a damaged circuit that routes 911 calls to Southeast Texas. AT&T is repairing the damage and we estimate systems will be back in working order around 2:00pm today. Please continue call 911 first for any emergency. If you have problems getting through, please use the posted numbers below that have been put in place to handle emergency calls until this problem is remedied. Please note the number for Orange County has been changed.
