Emergency vs. Non-emergency Situations

An emergency is a serious, unexpected, and potentially dangerous situation. If you, or someone you know, is having an emergency, dial 911. However, if your situation is not an emergency, the city of Dearborn has a non-emergency phone line. Help us keep the 911 phone lines open for emergencies by dialing the Dearborn non-emergency line 313-943-2241.

The National Suicide Prevention Hotline was also launched. If you or someone you know has a mental health crisis, dial 988 to speak to a mental health professional.
