Calling All Denver Citizens: Ditch the Panic, Not the Pancakes!
Let's face it, Denver – things get a little wild sometimes. Between the craft brewery crawls and those rogue squirrels with a penchant for stealing burritos, it's easy to imagine needing to contact the authorities. But hold on to your Stetsons, pardners, because not every situation requires a full-blown 911 call.

| What is The Non-emergency Number For Denver |
When to Dial 911: When It Gets Real in the Mile High City
- Fiery situations: Your apartment building isn't spontaneously combusting (we hope!), but if it is, dial 911 immediately.
- Medical emergencies: Having a dance-off with a bear? Not ideal. If you or someone you know needs medical attention, call 911.
- Crimes in progress: Witnessing a bank robbery or a jewelry heist? Don't be a hero (unless you're secretly Batman). Call 911 and let the professionals handle it.
Remember: When in doubt, call 911. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

Here's when this number comes in handy:
