Starting at 7am on Wednesday, October 30, Seaford residents who need to report non-emergency scenarios involving police, fire or medical within the City of Seaford, such as alarm activations, disabled vehicles, and controlled burnings, should now dial (302) 855-2970. That number will connect callers to the Sussex County Emergency Operations Center, which is taking over dispatch responsibilities for the City on that date.
The previous non-emergency number to the City dispatch center will be turned over to the County center during the transition, but eventually discontinued with the County’s non-emergency line remaining in its place.
To contact an officer or employee of the Seaford Police Department, callers should dial (302) 629-6645. The number to report after-hours City utility issues will remain as it has been, (302) 629-4550.
As always, any and all emergency calls should still be directed to 9-1-1 when needing police, fire or EMS.
