Clarinda Police Chief Keith Brothers announced today (Thursday), that the Clarinda Police Department has officially switched to an auto-attendant telephone system. The change went into effect at 1-p.m. (Thursday). Brother says it was necessitated by the City of Clarinda’s 911 Dispatch Center closure and all operations being turned over to Page County.

Brothers says “We appreciate your cooperation as we switch to this new system. It is very user friendly and state of the art. If you have any questions or concerns about the system, feel free to contact [him].”
