Seaford Police Department issues new number for non-emergency calls

SEAFORD, Del. – The Seaford Police Department has issued a new number for residents to report non-emergency issues.

Starting at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, October 30th, residents who need to report non-emergency scenarios involving police, fire, or medical within the city, such as alarm activations, disabled vehicles, and controlled burnings, should call 302-855-2970. That number will connect callers to the Sussex County Emergency Operations Center, which will be taking over dispatch responsibilities for the city that day.

Officials say the previous non-emergency number will be turned over to the County center during the transition, but eventually will be discontinued with the county’s non-emergency line remaining in place.

To contact an officer or employee of the Seaford PD, callers should dial 302-629-6645. The number to report after-hours city utility issues will remain the same, 302-629-4550. Any and all emergency calls should still be directed to 9-1-1 when needing police, fire, or EMS.
