In a notice aimed at keeping Kaua'i residents informed and connected, the Kaua‘i Police Department (KPD) has issued a reminder regarding alternative non-emergency contact numbers. This comes as the department prepares for scheduled maintenance on its systems yesterday, April 14, beginning at the rather precise time of 4:30 p.m. Residents looking to reach KPD's non-emergency services during this period are urged to take note of the alternate contact points should there be difficulties with the primary line.
Should anyone find themselves in need of non-emergency assistance and the regular number (808) 241-1711 proves unreachable, KPD has shared that calls can be directed to (808) 755-8516 or (808) 652-7837 instead. This information was detailed in a statement published on the County of Kauai's official website. While the focus of these temporary measures is on maintaining accessibility to non-emergency lines, KPD confirms that emergency services accessible via 911 will continue to operate without interruption during this time.
The scheduled maintenance is part of the department's ongoing efforts to ensure that all communication systems function optimally and are robust enugh to serve the community's needs. The proactive step to publicize alternative contact numbers demonstrates KPD's commitment to transparency and continuous service, even when faced with technical work that could potentially lead to brief disruptions.
Community members are encouraged to keep a record of the provided alternate numbers, as such preparedness can alleviate stress in the event of needing to contact law enforcement for non-urgent matters. The temporary numbers are specifically for instances that do not constitute direct and immediate threats to health or safety, for which the 911 line will remain.
