On Saturday, Jan. 16, the Law Enforcement Center in Bemidji will be without non-emergency and administrative phone lines temporarily between 8 AM to 11 AM.

This phone outage will not impact emergency 911 phone calls. However, this outage will impact the Beltrami County Correction Center and other Beltrami County Office phone lines on the county’s phone system.

People needing to contact the Beltrami County for non-emergency reports are asked to wait until after 11 AM when lines are back in service. The Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office also asks not to use 911 for non-emergency reports.

Updates will be posted to the Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook page.
