In a Facebook post, the agency said "the problem is being addressed and will hopefully be resolved soon."

If you are experiencing any type of emergency, the agency said its "texting 911" feature remains operational and "should be used for all emergency calls if your phone call does not go through."

WPTV has reached out to other local law enforcement agencies and found the outage is not affecting Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Okeechobee counties.
