Arapahoe County, CO – Residents across Arapahoe County and the Denver metro area may experience difficulties reaching the Sheriff’s Office today after officials announced intermittent outages affecting the agency’s non-emergency phone line.
According to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, the disruptions began Wednesday morning and are currently impacting the department’s ability to reliably receive non-emergency calls. Technicians are working to identify and resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Officials emphasized that the outage does not affect the county’s 911 system, which remains fully operational for emergencies.
The Sheriff’s Office noted that intermittent outages may cause delayed response times for residents attempting to report minor incidents, request welfare checks, file non-urgent reports, or seek general assistance. As of Wednesday morning, no estimated repair time has been released.
The agency is encouraging residents to remain patient and only attempt non-emergency calls when necessary until the issue is resolved. In cases where a situation escalates or involves immediate safety concerns, callers should use 911 as normal.
Arapahoe County is the third-largest county in Colorado, serving communities across the eastern Denver metro region including Aurora, Centennial, Greenwood Village, Englewood, and several unincorporated areas. Non-emergency lines play a significant role in daily law enforcement operations, often handling thousands of lower-priority calls each week.
The Sheriff’s Office stated it will provide updates on social media as more information becomes available. Residents are encouraged to follow official channels for real-time notices.
