From the Bates County Sheriff's Office

All but one phone line at the Sheriffs Office is down. The only number to use is 6606793232. 

If you get a busy signal continue to try they are sending techs out to look at the phone lines coming into the sheriffs office.


Update 5:58pm
All 911 calls are being sent to Butler Dispatch so there are no interruptions. We still have 1 administrative line open. Thanks for your patience.
