Statewide Phone Number to Report Non-Life Threatening Situations

"The Department of Public Safety, in conjunction with ALLTEL, Verizon, Cingular, and Nextel, have established a statewide, wireless phone number to report non-life threatening situations while out on the road. Customers of these companies can dial *DPS (377) free of charge to speak with a DPS representative, who will dispatch a State Trooper or other peace officer.

These calls are free of airtime charges and are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week."--from John Carona's Press Release
