Bucks County's 911 computer-aided dispatch system partially regained functionality following a nine-day outage due to a ransomware attack. The county's access to essential databases such as the National Crime Information Center and the state's Commonwealth Law Enforcement Assistance Network has been restored, although the full system has not. Dispatchers maintained 911 call-taking capabilities with a backup system during the outage. The cyberattack remains under investigation, and there is no timeline for the system's complete restoration.
