Harrisonburg Police Department

Harrisonburg Fire Department, which encompassed Rockingham County Fire & Rescue

Initially, all 911 calls were routed through Fire & Rescue Communications before being transferred to the appropriate department—either HPD Communications or RCSO Communications—depending on the nature of the emergency.
