Previously, Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow personnel were instructed to dial 911 from a desktop telephone and 577-6666 from a cell or smart phone, in the event of an emergency aboard the installation.
Marine Corps Police Department Deputy Chief William Atkinson said the process for contacting fire, police and emergency medical help has been simplified. It is now recommended that personnel employed, visiting, or residing aboard MCLB Barstow, to include both Nebo Base, Yermo Annex, Marine Memorial Golf Course and rifle/pistol ranges, always dial 911 in the event of an emergency, regardless of what type device or telephone they are calling from.
If calling from a cell or smart phone, your call is routed to either California Highway Patrol or Barstow Police Department 911 operators; therefore, it is very important that you advise the operator you are located on the Marine Corps base in Barstow, Calif. The call will then
immediately be routed to MCLB Barstow Consolidated Emergency Communications Center (building 168 Nebo Annex).
By following this procedure, the Emergency Dispatchers aboard MCLB Barstow will always receive your location, coordinates, and phone number; thus allowing for a quicker response from Security and
Emergency services personnel.
As always, regardless of what type device or telephone you are calling from, in the event you accidentally dial 911, please do not hang up. Remain on the line and inform the 911 operator or emergency dispatcher that you dialed 911 by mistake.
