Law enforcement agencies across the country reported brief outages of their 911 systems Monday night, and it was not immediately clear if there was a connection with a major Microsoft system outage.

Law enforcement agencies around the country, from Nevada to Pennsylvania and Arizona to Minnesota, tweeted that their 911 systems were down beginning sometime after 7 p.m. ET. Multiple reports indicated outages throughout Delaware and Ohio as well.

By 8:15 p.m., many of those departments reported that their services had come back online. Others were still recommending that people call local department numbers instead of the emergency line. ---CONTINUED---

Our's is still out, at least that is what the news is saying.

I am 911 up here where I live, just load up another 10 round mag for my AR-12.

The last time cellphone 911 system broke I added all the direct numbers for the local police in the towns I frequent as well as the state police dispatch center for this section of MA.

If you haven't done so, now is probably the time to track down those numbers and add them to your phone book or contact list on your smart device.

Very good idea, I never thought of that.

Just got done doing that.
