Terms of use

Last updated November 3, 2026

By using 616 Dispatch ("we", "us"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Not for emergencies

616 Dispatch is not an emergency service. If you or someone else needs help, call 911. Nothing on this site is monitored in real time by a person.

Information only, provided as is

Calls are gathered automatically from public sources and dispatch radio, and are often posted within minutes, before anyone knows what really happened. A call type is a dispatcher's first description from a 911 call; many calls turn out to be less serious, or different, than they first sound. Radio calls are transcribed by computer, and a word, number or place can be misheard. Some sources post hours or a day late. We work to be accurate but can't guarantee that anything here is complete, correct or current. Don't rely on this site for decisions about your safety, travel or property.

616 Dispatch is independent. It isn't run by, endorsed by or affiliated with any county, city, township, dispatch center, police, fire or EMS agency, or MDOT. Call listings are not official records.

Using the site

You're welcome to read, link to and share calls, and to use our RSS feed. Please don't:

• use the site to harass, stalk, threaten, identify or locate anyone, or to interfere with emergency responders;
• copy the site's contents in bulk, scrape it automatically in a way that burdens it, or republish it as your own service;
• present information from the site as official, or as coming from a public agency;
• try to break, overload or get around the site's security.

We may block access that breaks these terms.

Content and credits

The site's design, text, summaries and organization of calls are ours. The underlying public records belong to the agencies that publish them. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors. Links to other sites are for convenience; we're not responsible for their content.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, 616 Dispatch is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, and we aren't liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on anything published here.

Corrections, changes and contact

To report an error or ask for a call to be changed or removed, see Contact & corrections. We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan. Questions: [email protected].
