MATTHEWS, N.C. — The Matthews Police Department’s non-emergency phone number was not operational Friday morning after an apparent internet outage.
Their non-emergency phone number (704)847-5555 is not working, so residents are being asked to call 911 in an emergency, which will automatically go directly to the 911 center at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
The outage and repairs are expected to take several hours.
