If you call 911 or the non-emergency 907-443-5262 and are immediately disconnected and are unable to talk to a dispatcher, please try dialing 907-443-6518 for emergencies only.

Nome Police Department is notifying the public we have received information that scam callers, calling from Hidden, Unknown or Blocked numbers, are pretending to be from the Nome Police Department. The Police Department phones, landline and cell phones, will not show up on caller ID as Hidden, Unknown, or Blocked and the Department staff will always provide their rank or job title, name, and a call back number. Please be mindful of these potential scam calls and do not provide any sensitive personal information. Should you have any questions, or believe you have possibly been contacted by a scammer representing the Nome Police Department, you can contact us at 907-443-5262.
