Aurora Police Announce New Telephone Numbers

The Aurora Police Department has announced new telephone numbers for all police employees and divisions effective immediately.

While the number for police emergencies, 911, of course, does not change, the department has established a new non-emergency telephone number of 630-256-5000. Even though the former non-emergency telephone number, 630-859-1700, will continue to be answered until the city’s 911 Center moves into the new headquarters, officials encourage citizens to use the new non-emergency number. They reiterate that 911 should be used only in instances of immediate threats to personal safety or property.
