📱Did you know you could text 911? 💬

Call when you can, text if you can’t. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office encourages you to text 911 in an emergency when making a phone call isn’t possible or safe. This service is especially beneficial for individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have speech impediments.

How It Works:
▪️Start a new text message.
▪️Enter “911” in the recipient field.
▪️Type your emergency and location.
▪️Send the message and await a response.

Stay safe and remember that help can be just a text away!
