On Monday January 23rd, telephone number 599- 416-3737 of the police on Saba has become inoperable due to lightning. The situation is serious enough that the local telephone company Satel NV had to be called in. The Caribbean Netherlands Police Force (KPCN) meanwhile has a new number where citizens can reach them. The new emergency number is 599-416-6155.
Satel NV is working to restore the regular 599-416-3737 number. Once this has been realized KPCN will notify the Community of Saba.
