The Walnut Creek Police Department is proud to announce its participation in the 911 Cell Phone Bank Program. This program recycles old cell phones so they can be used again for emergency purposes only, and then gives them to community members who could not otherwise afford a cell phone. The free Emergency Use cell phones have proven especially important in assisting domestic violence victims and vulnerable seniors.
Anyone with a cell phone they no longer want—working or not—is encouraged to bring it to the police counter on the first floor lobby of City Hall, 1666 N. Main St., during business hours.
The donated cell phones are shipped to the 911 Cell Phone Bank. All contents on the phone are deleted, and the phone is reprogrammed so it can only be used to connect with local emergency services via 911.
Hundreds of phone nationwide have been handed out to vulnerable seniors and domestic violence victims since the 911 Cell Phone Bank’s inception in 2007.
Persons who cannot afford a cell phone but would like to have access to emergency services through 911 should contact the Walnut Creek Police Department. 925-943-5844.
