My power/utility is out, should I call the Voorhees Police Department/911?

If you believe there is a gas leak, live wires, or any other hazardous condition call 911.  Otherwise, no, please do not call our Agency to report power or utility outages.  Typically, when power/utility outages occur there is a major weather event or serious vehicle crash that increases emergency call volume to the Camden County Communications Center (dispatchers).  Calling to report power/utility outages may increase wait time for people attempting to report emergencies.  If you are experiencing a power/utility outage, please follow the below links to report the outage to your respective utility provider.
