Twenty-five years later, we remember.
We honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the 911 professionals who answered calls for help.
We remember their courage. We honor their sacrifice. We will never forget.
If you have an emergency and are unable to connect to 911, please call the Columbus Police non emergency line at 614-645-4545.
Through the Safe Streets initiative, @ColumbusPolice
officers are out in neighborhoods across the city,
building relationships, addressing concerns, and proactively targeting crime.
Because safer neighborhoods start with strong community partnerships.

Columbus is experiencing extreme heat that can quickly become dangerous. Protect yourself by drinking plenty of water, staying in air-conditioned spaces when possible, and limiting outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.
