Pinellas County 911: Emergency Calls Only

The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office reminded residents to call 911 only for true emergencies such as crimes in progress, fires, critical medical situations, and serious vehicle crashes.

Residents uncertain whether their situation qualifies should call 911; the call taker will determine if emergency assistance is needed.

For non-emergency matters, residents should call 727-582-6200. This includes crimes that are not in progress and general information inquiries. Using the non-emergency line keeps 911 lines available for critical incidents.

The Sheriff's Office also reminded residents that email addresses submitted to the office are public record and subject to release under Florida public records law. Those who prefer privacy should contact the office by phone or mail instead.
