FAQ - Cell Phone Emergency Number

Question: What is the seven digit emergency telephone number in Foster City?

Answer: When you make an emergency call from your cell phone in the Bay Area, the call is answered by California Highway Patrol dispatchers in Vallejo. This can mean that your call takes longer to route and, thus, emergency help can be delayed. You can avoid this delay by using the direct dispatch center emergency number: 650-573-3333.
