Rockville residents may experience difficulty reaching the police department's non-emergency number on Tuesday night due to phone upgrades.

ROCKVILLE, MD — Rockville residents may not be able to reach the Rockville Police Department's non-emergency number for a period of time Tuesday night and into Wednesday due to upgrades in the city's phone system.

Callers who can't reach RCPD via the non-emergency number (240-314-8900) should call the Montgomery County Department of Police's non-emergency number (301-279-8000) instead.
