Which Number to Call at Macon County Sheriff's Office: 911, Main Line, or Tip Hotline?
The right number to call at the Macon County Sheriff's Office depends on your situation: emergency, general question, or tip. Here's how to choose.
Call 9-1-1 for emergencies. If someone's in immediate danger, a crime is in progress, or you need urgent medical help, skip the other numbers. 9-1-1 gets you to first responders fastest.
For non-emergencies, call the main line: (615) 666-3325. This is your go-to for general questions, reaching a specific department, or anything that isn't time-sensitive.
The Tip Hotline uses the same number: (615) 666-3325. Choose this option when you want to share information - something you've seen or heard - rather than ask questions. It's designed for one-way reporting to law enforcement.
Phone lines busy? You can fax paperwork or written information to (615) 666-6909.
