OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) — Oakland’s 911 system is down after the city’s emergency communications center lost service to its phone lines, internet and computer-aided dispatch system, according to Oakland Police Chief James Beere.<\/p>\n

Beere said the outage began more than 15 hours before officials provided an update on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“OPD dispatchers noticed CAD froze and error message. Discovered no service to phone lines, internet or CAD,” Beere said.<\/p>\n

Operators from Oakland’s 911 center have been relocated to the fire department’s dispatch center while crews work to restore service.<\/p>\n

Emergency calls are being handled by the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office and relayed to Oakland police, officials said.<\/p>\n

Authorities said only priority calls are being handled during the outage.<\/p>\n

AT&T is working to restore services.<\/p>\n
