Police in Mississauga and Brampton are reassuring residents that any 911 calls will be answered.
Peel Regional Police say the region’s 911 dispatch was “experiencing intermittent issues with incoming calls due to technical issues” early on Wednesday evening (June 8). As a result, some callers who are in need of emergency assistance have been disconnected.
The police emphasized that anyone who is disconnected should call back.
