Exact address needed by Elk Grove Police to respond to illegal fireworks calls

Although the City of Elk Grove promoted a Zero Tolerance policy on illegal fireworks for the Fourth of July holiday in its monthly newsletter (see excerpt below), the reality of enforcement is not congruent. The newsletter encourages residents to report “illegal fireworks activity” by calling the non-emergency line at (916) 714-5115.

However, a recording on the line states Elk Grove Police can only respond to calls where an exact address is provided. Hear the recording below.

Reports of illegal fireworks can also be emailed to firewors@elkgrovepd.org
