KCSO Provides Phone And Email for Stay Home, Stay Safe Violation Reporting

The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) issued an emergency alert to advise Michigan residents of the “Stay Home, Stay Safe” Executive Order (EO 2020-21), signed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, directing all Michigan businesses and operations to temporarily suspend in-person operations that are not necessary to sustain or protect life.

The order also directs Michiganders to stay in their homes unless they are a part of that critical infrastructure workforce, engaged in certain outdoor activities, or performing tasks necessary to the health and safety of themselves or their family.

The Michigan Attorney General has asked local law enforcement to assist with possible violations, referencing the "Stay Home, Stay Safe" Executive Order.

In response to this the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office has established a phone line and email service for residents and visitors of Kalamazoo County to contact should they need to file a complaint in reference to this order.

Kalamazoo County residents,visitors or local business should call 269-385-6101 for any concerns or violations, referencing the "Stay Home, Stay Safe Order". Lines will be open from 8am until 8pm. If lines become overwhelmed at any point, callers will be able to leave a voicemail and they will be re-contacted by the Sheriff's Office.

The Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office has also set up an email address for local residents, visitors and businesses who prefer to email in their concern. Emails will be returned as time allows. The email address is staysafe@kalcounty.com.

Please continue to call 269-488-8911 for general non-emergency calls not referencing COVID-19 or the "Stay Safe, Stay Home" order and 911 for any emergencies.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we continue to respond and serve Kalamazoo County.
