DUGWAY — The Dugway Police Department says they are currently having issues with cellphones. They say that cell phones can’t reach landlines on the military installation.
 
According to a social media post today, 911 calls will get through from a landline but not from a cellphone.
 
Officials encouraged people to call from a landline if possible for emergency services. If a cellphone is your only option, officials said that Tooele County will receive your 911 call and send it to Dugway police via radio.
 
They asked people with non-emergency issues to go to the dispatch center or police building and use the lobby landline phones.

We want to hear from you.
