Overview
- Police across Hesse reported a disruption to station phone systems on Wednesday, leaving some non-emergency lines unreachable.
- The 110 emergency hotline still works, so people in urgent danger should call that number.
- The South Hesse police headquarters confirmed the outage, and other regional headquarters reported similar problems.
- Police in East Hesse said technicians are working at speed to restore service.
- Officials have not identified a cause, which can slow routine public calls and day-to-day coordination between units until repairs finish.
