Best number for the PD, non emergency?

Anyone?

Well, it worked for me. However, I suspect that the PD is supposed to answer the phone! From now on, i'm going to bypass the 72nd and call 311.

When I finally did get an answer, via 311, I got someone who was possibly a bit of an idiot, though he did try to be helpful, I doubt that he was a P.O. I was trying to find a missing car, which the PD apparantly would know nothing about.

He gave me the number of a towing company that tows DWI's, and another one that tows Impounds. He warned me to call the Sheriff last (completely and totally the wrong advice) because i might have a warrant out against me or something.

The Sheriff's department completely rocks and couldn't have been more helpful. Problem solved.
